while not the most awful movie i have ever see and it close . such great location of new york with some good actor and and then to be ruin by this ridiculous screenplay . what a waste . i knew thing be go down the toilet after that first scene with the son in the bathroom . come on . horrible . the character be not very likable and so who care who love who or who do what to whom . billy cudrup should retire from so call acting . he terrible . only maggie ghynenhaal brighten up the proceeding and but even she can not save it . too bad more wasn not give to the wonderful ellen barkin . no character development . would have be good to have spotlight her and make more of her character . she in one moment and out the next . another waste . the near end in the theatre be a travesty . badly film and edit and act . so unbelievable it would have sink even a good movie . what harpoon to bob balabans credit .
