Negative Positive
Title: Woefully Unfocused and INDULGENT
Review: This is simply ridiculously bad, just ridiculous. Many characters are introduced, many storylines are established-- and not ONE is developed satisfactorily. Novice filmmaking from everyone except the actors. No great performances here but all competent. I particularly enjoyed Rory Culkin as Michael Douglas's young son. Culkin provides the film's one genuinely funny moment when he asks a surprising question of his mother (who is concerned he isn't speaking to his parents enough).It is always nice to see Kirk Douglas still performing and he has great courage to do so. However, giving him foul-mouthed dialogue and dirty jokes- as this film does- is not very dignified. Parents beware: this film may appear to be fairly good natured, but there is an awful lot of 'language' and 'adult themes'.This is a big ensemble piece, but it doesn't add up to much of anything. This movie wanted to be about so much, but it honestly doesn't end up being about anything.
