this be one of those road movie that would like to tell you a lotta thing about woman and the universe and the good life and the terrible solitude of the brilliant architect from manhattan who sever all link with everyone and include his three year old child which may seem irresponsible to some actually the hero win hand down when it come to selfishness and the scene with his old school pal and which begin a some kind of good old day conversation and end on a threatening note be the oasis in a desert movie . the scene with the father who leave home when i be a child have be tell and tell and tell . of course it do not prevent the offspring from make his way of life . and when you see the hero wife attitude and you may think she must never have hear about woman lib . the best be the soundtrack which include superb song by willie nelson and tom wait or bonnie raitt . but you can enjoy them without this tedious pretentious work .
