I love most of the actors in this movie, Zach Braff, Amanda Peet, even Charles Grodin. I'm sorry to say, that even the best actors could not have saved this film.
The entire movie is a "what can go wrong, will go wrong" plot from hell, but unlike other movies that have success with the idea this one flops; at every opportunity. The movie was physically painful. From nearly start to finish, I had my head in my hands or pulling out my hair. My chest ached. The whole ride home consisted of my wife and I trying to think of the last movie we had seen that was as bad.
The movie had few-no saving graces, possibilities being the kid who played Wesley, and a short marriage counseling scene.
I could not recommend this movie to anyone outside of the GIs who need a non-violent torture tool in Gitmo.
