Found this movie to be neither inspiring nor uplifting. There was not a single redeeming character - maybe the older sister. It’s a story about self-absorbed, manipulative addicts who have children that they neglect. The children are so brain washed that even as adults they can’t walk away from the sick relationship and live on their own. Extremely disappointed in the movie but even more disappointed in the real people who lived this and never broke free from the grips of toxic parents.

To call this a comedy is a real stretch. Kept waiting for it to get going. Should have stopped it 30 minutes in - it didn't get any better.

I can't believe Cusack, Kidman & McConnaughey signed on to this bizarro world b-movie. The unnecessary close-ups of an alligator being gutted and the endless sex scene with Cusack & Kidman are there to make an otherwise dull, confusing, pointless movie sell tickets.

I'm being generous. I would give it 2.5 but there's no half rating. The trailer makes it seem like a sweet movie. It's trite and somewhat empty. The characters have no depth and it's predictable.

Love Blythe Danner and adore Sam Elliott. Why they signed on to this movie is a mystery. The storyline isn't believable and the twist at the end made me say, out loud, "I want my two hours back plus 3 more hours cause it seemed like that long "
