The second movie directed by Scott Caan (his first was Dallas 362 which we very much enjoyed), we really looked forward to this one. Giovanni Ribisi and Scott Caan (together and seperately) pull off their roles and click together. Funny and amusing script. Jimmy the Dog stole the show. He was amazing. Best dog ever.
We had a few problems with some elements of the script such as some of the dialogue felt unnatural and forced, and a couple of characters (Mena Suvari and Keving Corrigan) were underwritten or included solely to spout “cool” offbeat dialogue.
Look for the scene with “the Dog” ‘walking through L.A.’.
In the end it bring nothing new to the table, but it’s enjoyable enough as a fun coming-of-age Comedy. Take a date.
Seek out Caan’s first film Dallas 362 first. It’s a lot better.
