a story of mess up real life people try to find a happy hollywood end and almost real life for a change . nicholson be fantastic get all the quick witted reply and comment that he deserve and and hunt provide a fantastic lead opposite him and the pair blend beautifully together in their scene . gooding and kinnear provide strong support and but it kinnear who outshine gooding and why haven not we see him in more prominent role before . the film can get a bit sappy in place and but it always bring it back to reality with a bang . definately a go see and for all those victor meldrew type .
