Giamatti is terrific and so is the new kid, although it strained credulity to believe he wasn't 18 years old. Its no "Sideways," and I didnt care as much for the characters as I have in other Payne films, but there weren" any explosiins, car chases, flying people of hungry zombies so thats a real rarity - and a real plus - right there. U have to see it and decide for yourself. For me it came up a bit short, but was worthwhile.
