Movie Story

In this painfully funny and deeply moving film, Ben Bingham (Grant) has slipped into a fossilized middle-age, unlike his vibrant wife Amanda (Moss). When she finally leaves him, Ben refuses to get out of his pajamas until his popular 17 year-old son Justin (Pacar) takes over. He reinvents Ben's "look" and pushes him out into the social scene. Before Ben knows what is happening, he is the most popular single man in town... pursued by his nurse (Elfman), his trainer (Garofalo) and karaoke-singing twins. Things change when Justin falls in love for the first time and Ben is forced to refocus, recapture his humanity, his heart, and most importantly his wife... who is now with another man.

This film tries too hard; it jumps between being desperate to please and too pleased with itself. Not funny. Not even on the same continent as funny. Avoid.

I was about to turn it off so many times. Regret I didn´t do it. Stupid storyline and really awful acting. 90 minutes of my life I´m never going to get back.

The film deals with actually realistic issues that actually do happen. The performances were fantastic, Richard E.Grant is a brilliant comedian, with the beautiful carrie anne moss playing his wife is an excellent casting choice. And as for 'Dogwatch' comment down there, if it was such a waste of 90 minutes of your life that your not going to get back, why the hell would go bother commenting on this film and wasting yet minutes of your 'life'? You should get a life yourself. A must see film.
