A Few Laughs...
Added 6/1/2009

... and an adroit portrayal of a nut-case California libertarian dysfunctional father with a heart (or possibly a whole chest) of gold. If you've ever lived in California, especially southern, you're excused; you don't need to see it, you can just sit on a step-ladder in your patio and watch your neighbors. Otherwise, you might not feel too bad about wasting an hour-and-a-half on a film that aspires to be as wildly sardonic as a Coen Brothers movie, but ends up as sappy as Gidget.

Oh yeah, the young woman, Evan Rachel, deserves another chance, in a stronger role. But please, don't cast her as a precocious seventeen-year-old again!

Awesome movie, decent picture.

Movie is great, picture quality I'd give a 4, a few dark scenes with a good amount of grain.

Charlie Sheen certainly shows just exactly what the imagination can do to lead us on a merry chase after the impossible dream. The film brings out the true feelings that many viewers may have in reagrds to following the rainbow to find the pot of gold.

Had not heard of this movie before and was delighted to have "discovered" it. Great entertainment.
