Ummm what is this exactly?

5.4 stars.

This is in NO way Italian, not one bit. Beau Bridges as an Italian? Oh boy.

This movie was all over the place. There's a scene, then they jump almost 30 years into the future. The grandfather didn't age a day. Already I knew this was going to be a farce. I think it's about a man with alzheimer's and a bunch of grandkids who have no idea what it means to be respectable human beings. Let's sell the farm, let's give up, let's bicker about irrelevant issues, and be illogical all the time. One sister is gay and her wife is pregnant. Who is the father? Why not explore that a little?

I don't understand the point and I'm disappointed with this movie, but at least the doctor guy was cool. And the grandson, is that Woody Harrelson's kid? He has no authority or drive whatsoever, what a most emasculated character. His girlfriend was the coolest person in this movie, make her the lead next time, please.

The kiss was misplaced and didn't belong in this film. Sure it was nice, but it felt like an attempt to resurrect a lifeless story.

Ooof.
