Genres & Description

Comedy Drama Romance

6.4 / 10

Ben Kalman is aging: he has heart problems, his marriage is over, he's lost a fortune after being caught cutting corners in his East Coast car business, and he's sleeping with as many women as possible - the younger the better. He's chosen his current girlfriend, Jordan, because her father can help him get a new auto dealership; she's asked him to escort her daughter, Allyson, 18, on a visit to a Boston college campus. He behaves badly, and there are consequences to his love life, his finances, and his relationship with his daughter and grandson. Is there anywhere he can turn?

I really didn't mind this movie; it wasn't exceptional, but it wasn't bad. I think you guys are judging this book by it's cover, because it is unlike any other movie you'll see in a long time. It doesn't follow the normal storyline of movies with the same concept like this, but instead presents a completely new view of life from this guy's point of view. I liked it, especially Danny DeVito's performance of "the good friend". - @Wednesday, June 15, 2011 11:28 PM

@carlo88moe well let's just say it's a doctorate degree, and not the bullshit kind, but like I said thats not the point... didn't want to use that line but since you said " though i can see how it may have come across as 'fire to a cave man" to, um, idiots who, um, dont read" I just threw it in there... but didn't really want to offend you with my first comment, was just bored and saw you wrote "curmudgeon-esque" I laughed and typed my comment without even thinking bout it cheers - @Monday, January 10, 2011 3:04 AM

@carlo88moe lol jesus I said that jokingly b/c you used a "big" word replying to a guy that was arguing with some one else on youtube lol, didn't know it will get you this riled up haha... and please, i'm pretty sure I have a higher lvl of education than you, but that's beside the point - @Monday, January 10, 2011 1:00 AM

@wusta34 pffff, lol, excuse me for using words i think best describe things, next time i'll just use them as legos and also refer to everything i know for now on as "that thingy"...gotta love americans who find it offense to know no engish and too much english...calm down dude, its just a word, no agenda, though i can see how it may have come across as 'fire to a cave man" to, um, idiots who, um, dont read.......and really? that word? im hardly wearing silk pajamas and shitty on a golden pot.... - @Sunday, January 9, 2011 2:28 PM

sorry I can't grasp this garbage of a fim - with all Mike Douglas' money and power he throws this trash out and expects me to buy a frigging ticket ? this is a total waste of time - I vomit when I am forced to sit through these "Feel Good Movie of the Season crapolla flicks - And the rambling piano tune in the background is keyed in to make us all enjoy the teaser -= Hay Michael Douglas this movie stinks - you really let everyone down wih this schlock - @Saturday, December 4, 2010 1:10 AM
