Worst James Brolin movie ever don't watch this

I'm speechless

I've watched hundreds of movies in my lifetime and this might possibly be the worst movie I've ever seen. There are literally no words to describe how bad it is but one of the other reviewers called it absurd and that's a pretty good description. Cringy works too especially when it comes to the older son's relationship with the 17 year old girl. Not a single character is likeable in any way.

Storyline 👎 Acting 👎

Really, not one person in this movie could act. The whole movie was off, with a 'real cliff' at the end.

Would've given it a zero, but coudn't

Like James Brolin and knew nothing about the other actors/actresses

Just watched this on TubiTB (3-8-23)

James Brolin's character started out disgusting and got worse. Tia Mowry, Joanna Cassidy and the other actors/actresses were AWFUL!

I watched it to the end, because (2) of my grandpa's died of Alzheimers. I was hoping it would show the DECENT side of a caring family uniting together.

FAR FROM IT!

And James Brolin's character was a malignant narcissistic abuser by the end ("me, me, me)

Don't waste your time. Glad I didn't spend $$$ on it to watch.

Someone needs to give a better perspective.
