My expectations were very high with the lineup of actors but it missed that spark. There wasn't anything very special about the story. It was cute and had some good moments but I was hoping for more. 2.5 would be my score... 3 just because of the amazing actors.

There were so many good parts to this movie. Zach Galifianakis' character was so spot on and revealing of some of the truths about mental illness and it was done in such a beautiful way. He was an idealist and had a big heart but the weight and reality of the situation he was in was overwhelming. Owen Wilson represented someone on the polar opposite side of Zach's mindset but still connected and showed genuine love and compassion. All of the characters were great, however, like other reviews mentioned, the last few minutes of this film really ruined it. I was hoping for more of a statement about life, society, mental illness... just something but it all unfolded pretty badly at the end. Lots of great moments tho. The parts about meat eating/vegetarianism were a bit disappointing but I may be a tad biased :)
