Although I tried to find more to like in this indie dramedy, it just came across to me as mostly painfully unfunny and too long a slog to get to the 180 degree finale.
Andrew J. West stars here as Walter, who's made himself into an obsessive-compulsive "Rain Man"- like character since his father's death, a decade before. From the day of his dad's funeral, Walter believes God has given him the power to instantly judge whether another person will end up in heaven or hell.
Walter will try and deal with his strained relationship with his oppressively smothering mother (Virginia Madsen), as well as the interpersonal relationships with his co-workers at the movie theater, where he works as a ticket taker. When a ghost-like figure (Justin Kirk) enters Walter's world, and he begins to see a therapist (William H. Macy), Walter's ironclad life's rules will begin to be challenged and shaken.
There are a couple of life's lessons being offered here but, for me, as mentioned it was just too difficult a slog to get to them near the finale of the film. Also, the ending here just seemed too simplistic and contrived for my tastes.
