Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

mikeba49 Don't waste your time.Next to the "Rat brained Humans" creation of John Travolta, this rates as the worst movie ever and I like the Wilson boy's quirky on screen persona's. Their characters are usually interesting when directed and written well.The first act takes 80 minutes to develop a plodding, uninteresting list of characters and histrionics. Cassel and Stanton bring some of the only bright spots to the story as co-heroes.When the second act sets up the drama with Luke Wilson and a sleeper like Howard Hughes character in Kris Kristofferson as Heroes pitted against the villainous Owen Wilson and Eddie Griffin, your left to wonder "who cares"? And finally, the good old boys saves the day finale, is counter climatically. Wilson was really to clueless to "get the girl".Sorry Wilson Bro's, but you blew it!!

brendan-95 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.

dustinhunter707 OK now I have always liked Luke and Owen Wilson as well as many other stars in this film such as Eddie Griffin, Eva Mendes, Kris Kristofferson, and Will Ferrell but for some reason this movie wasn't funny at all. It was more dramatic and from the looks of the trailer, I was expecting a comedy with several laughs since it starred Luke and Owen Wilson, but I only laughed like twice the whole movie and I was expecting to laugh way more. It kind of tells the life of Wendell Baker, but it really fails to make anything about his life funny like they should have. Overall I give this a 4 out of 10 because I was expecting a comedy, not a drama. I wouldn't recommend this to comedy fans, but if you are looking for something different and you are a Luke Wilson fan then you may like this, but i'm not sure because I am a Luke Wilson fan and I didn't even like this one.

Pookyiscute I took my chances with this one, even though I kind of suspected from the looks of it, that it would be kind of dumb, and I was right.Not the best of the Wilson brothers' writing. It's stupid, half-witted and quite frankly a waste of time and money.The film is about Wendell Baker (Luke Wilson), who gets arrested for supplying illegal Mexicans with fake Texas State identification cards. After he is released from prison, he goes out looking for his ex-girlfriend, and gets a job at a retirement home. Owen Wilson plays the head nurse, and although there are a few funny lines from time to time...in the end it's a very bad movie.I think that the film would have been better had there been more tight shots, more quick dialogue and hadn't of had the worst music ever.I give it a three simply because it was creative and there were a few funny parts, but all in all it was just terrible, and I would definitely not recommend it.
