Reviews:

Enjoyable…loved the soundtrack
Watched it last night for the first time. Although it wasn’t “slapstick” humor, I still felt it was thoroughly enjoyable. In fact, it seemed almost like a breath of fresh air. Not as formulaic as a lot of other comedies out there, thank goodness. I especially enjoyed Luke’s character of Wendell Baker. He comes across as being forever boyish until he does experience loss in his life. Harry Stanton and Seymour Cassel really do bring a unique air to the film, being septuagenarians with a fervid love of life. Kristofferson’s character I felt could have used a bit more development, but is overall well acted nonetheless.

The soundtrack to this movie really helped a lot. If it had to be called a flavor, I’d call it “Texas BarBQ”…flavorful, colorful and spicy. Very unique.

In short, this would be the kind of movie you could watch with your family and not be embarrassed.

Rather generic and dull
Given the state of this films release, didn’t have such high expectations. Just expecting sone solid humor. However this film isn’t really much, the film isn’t too funny, the plot is quite thin and after a while everything becomes very predictable and stale.

Luke Wilson does play his part well enough, from when we first see him. He is rather cocky and over confident then after while coming out of prison his entire persona changes and becomes quite likeable. But even so, nothing quite memorable. Will Ferrell has a few scenes- some are the highlight. Several different characters- none of which quite stand out.

In the end this film is just rather generic and not so much to think about. Ultimately forgettable.
