Featured review
Nothing real remarkable about the movie. Pleasant is a good way to describe it. Now on to some quibbles.
This is one of several movies I seem to have seen of late where a protagonist does several things that should land them in jail for a long time, yet there are no consequences.
Luke Wilson is as vapid as ever.
I honestly thought they might be taking the relationship between the two very good-looking young men in a certain direction, but the movie was made in 2006 and perhaps audiences would not have been accepting of that then. What's really notable is Mullet's impossibly white teeth. He seems awfully young to have had them "done". If not, they are amazing.
The soundtrack is pleasant, like the rest, and Jimmy Buffett even has a role as a teacher.
