I really wanted to like this movie as I'm a big fan of Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and Bottle Rocket. However, this film was just poorly put together. I kept expecting it to get better but gave up after about an hour. I'm still in shock from the amateur look and feel of this flick. The Owen brothers have done such quality work in the past. How could this have happened? Why was the film released in this condition? Somebody must have dropped something in the brother's coffee because these guys can do much better. I did enjoy the roles for Harry Dean Stanton and Seymour Cassel. Their acting redeemed the movie a bit and made me keep watching. Eddie Griffin and Owen Wilson, surprisingly, don't do a very good job with their characters. I was very disappointed but I still have faith that the brothers will release a quality film the next go round.
