No Go
She who must be obeyed keeps Sam Elliot’s autographed photo beside her bed. So, of course we had to go to this movie.

Elliott is about the only thing that works in the movie. In spite of too much staring into the ocean, or into the canyon, he gives a good performance. The dialogue is weak and contrived. The dialogue between father and daughter is as weak as the dumb explanation of why they were estranged.

His relationship with the new young girl (Laura Prepon – That ’70s Show) didn’t ring true. Her profession as a stand-up comedian was conveniently written to provide a couple of scenes. She sure wasn’t funny on stage or around the house.
We waited for the ending to see if it would redeem itself, but no. Don’t waste your time.
