Some other reviewers are cleary jaded pr@cks who may also have difficulty navigating the weird combination of quirky comedy and drama. I am writing my review because Micky Rourke moved me with his performance. Perhaps I have a soft spot for soldiers that the rest of us spoiled asses rely on to protect us and do the dirty work. Perhaps I have recognition for an older man who has to come to grips with the fact that he has made mistakes he regrets. At any rate, Micky gives one of the best performances in a stellar career --- well worth watching. The young man was ok. Although he might have been a little too glib in spots. He's much darker and more hatefully, pathetically convincing in Palo Alto. Emma Roberts is about perfect in her role. I fell in love with her as usual. Anyway, I have watched a lot of movies in my down time lately and this is one of them I DON'T regret.
Give it a try.
