Feat. Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elliot Page, Thomas Haden Church, Ashton Holmes, Christine Lahti

Aroview: Dunderheaded dramedy focused on a widowed, misanthropic professor (Quaid) who awakens to life again after a hit to the head, only to discover that everything needs mending.

Decent cast notwithstanding, this stuffs itself full of writerly cliches, one-note caricatures, and the kind of artificial dialogue that strives for LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE's eccentricity, yet smacks of insincerity. Not a lot to recommend here, unless one of the cast takes your fancy.

2 stars (Good Try) A good female cast. A beard covers part of Quaid's smirk which helps. ~Tubbs
