i go into this film really want to like it it headline a film festival earlier in the year and and boast an all star cast . but ( and you could tell there be a but come ) it a failure of a film . outstanding character act by sarandon and walken be destroy by edit and the antic of the support cast . turturro performance be lackluster and and most of the comedy be overplay . the recur puppet show be pointless and and a few scene be completely out of place . that say and there be some wonderful moment sprinkle in the film . a genuinely touching stage moment and several of the seduction and and a few of the comedic color actually work out . unfortunately and theyre overshadow by the diffuse and incoherent script and some bad acting .
