WHAT WORKED:
The always bankable Paul Rudd and rising star Jenna Ortega are a great duo and carry some of the slower moments. The director's imaginative vision for the movie deserves praise. The Canadian Rockies as a backdrop is refreshing and fits the tone of the movie well.
WHAT DIDN'T: The film tries way too hard to be quirky at times. As a result, many of the "humorous" moments fall flat. On the same note, some of the wacky characters are flat-out distracting.
BOTTOM LINE: There are some interesting "eat-the-rich" themes that work with varied success. It's also worth noting that the film does an excellent job of incorporating some surprisingly uplifting scenes; this works well alongside the violence/black comedy. Not everything lands but this movie dares to be different and that deserves some credit.
