this movie leave me feel like i have be take advantage of . i be expect a movie about how a chance interaction with an eccentric millionaire and howard hughes and can change a person life or at least have some small effect on a person . this be not the case . spoiler the movie start out tease the audience by show u a small glimpse of the sad condition of this once great man have ascend to and but then it over and poof . nothing profound and or earth shake take place in the small time melvin spends with howard and then the rest of the movie be all about melvin . i would not have mind this too much have melvin life be at least marginally interesting and but unless average and mundane be what you be into and do not bother watch this con job . i would not recommend this movie if you be a howard hughes fan and or even a little bit interested in him . you will be disappoint . i do recommend this movie if you be a fan of melvin what his name . add note represent howard hughes leave an estate estimate at $ 2 billion . four hundred prospective heir try to inherit it but it eventually go to twenty two cousin on both side of his family .
