The Story:
Dennis (Giamatti) is finally out on parole. He's heading home for Christmas, and discovers that his wife has told their daughter that he died of cancer. She's ready to move on with Rene (Rudd). Rene and Dennis plan to head into New York and sell Christmas trees to make some money, and Dennis hopes to buy a piano for his daughter for Christmas.
This is not a comedy.
It was billed as a comedy, but it is not.
It is a drama.
It's not a very good drama, either.
Actually, it's just not that great of a movie.
Very slow.
No, slower than that.
I think I made it 15 or 20 minutes before I hit 1.5x speed on the PS3.
It didn't help.
I wound up watching it at 10x.... sure there's not any volume, but at this point, I really didn't care.
If you're interested, he ends up stealing a piano for his daughter for Christmas.
A total waste of the talents of the Two Pauls.
Bah, humbug.
Final Grade: D
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: None whatsoever.
