odd quirky dramedy
Harry March (Frank Langella) is a world-weary writer who lives alone on an island in the Hamptons. He named it Noman in hopes that one day, he could answer a question with, "No Man is an island." He never does. His nemesis is his neighbor Lapham who is building his mega mansion and publishing his self-important, greed-is-good sayings. His only companion is his dog Hector (Cheech Marin) who speaks to him. Of course, he's the only one who can hear it. He has chased away his wife Chloe (Stockard Channing) and family. Kevin (Bobby Cannavale) leads a work crew with the Lapham construction. Kathy Polite (Katie Parker) is the real estate agent pushing for Harry to sell his island.
This is trying to be outlandish at times, but those are hit and miss. I thought the outdoor air conditioner is really stupid and then it comes back in the climax. I don't know why he's searching for horse hair and then it explains it without satisfaction. It's really borderline all the way to the end. I get the attempt at surreal humor. I don't think it's good enough.

Simply agonizing
The movie seems promising but once u start it its shocks u. Its so boring, nor funny and the director is beyond horrible. They leave all the beautiful scenery n focus on faces making us unable to see whats going on or where are we!
The story line is slow and its simply too much talk between the old man n his dog which shouldn't be a movie.
I wish they focused on the beautiful surrounding instead, it could've helped the viewers enjoy it a bit.
Try it yourself and see if u can find any fun in this film. For us its a total no and i should trust the rating as it has three and half star on prime tv.

What even was this?
I'm not sure this even counts as a movie. It seems more like someone fed boomer prompts into an AI chat bot and it spit out this whole movie. Like not even the script but the entire movie itself was just created and made inside the machine then pushed out slowly.
Nothing is funny or interesting. There's a talking dog for some reason that adds nothing, and is voiced by Cheech. The human can hear the dogs thoughts but for some reason has to reply to the dog audibly with dialogue. This is never addressed or explained.
The jokes are also not funny. Half the time there don't even seem to be any happening anyway - but the ones that are there are the most typical and dated old people comedy you can imagine. "I don't like loud things" is about 1/4 of the punch lines so if you chuckled at that - this may be the movie for you...

Angry Viewers
I think this was some sort of elitist attempt at self deprecating humor? That is my best guess , but I could be wrong. From the very first sentence of the movie it wasn't funny and simply bad. It only snowballed downhill from here. The acting is poor and just about every scene or chapter is at best distasteful and at its worst downright crude.
Out of the 150 movies I've reviewed on IMDB not a single one was this bad. Some movies have bad acting that damages the overall film quality but this would score a 0 in every possible way to one could rate a movie. It is a shame that reviewers are obligated to even give it a one star.
Highly recommend not viewing this to save time you will not get back in your life.

Deeper than it seems
This is a weird one. I wasn't sure what to expect. I figured it would be two guys going at each other over the fence-line...and let the antics ensue! Nope, nothing like that.
I think this movie would be better enjoyed as a book. But I would never read it, because I dont read books...unless its a book on how to operate or fix something! I'm not the guy in his easy chair, snuggled up to a good book...clock ticking in an otherwise silent house with an animal on my lap...
What's weird about this flick is it is written by the mind of a child in it's nature, yet is deeply metaphorical. You have to get past the simplicity and stupidity of some of the characters and the story-line to get the point. The one hook in the story that keeps you wondering "WTH is he doing that for?", turns out to be a disappointing end, but made a very good point. You also have to get past what appears to be a talking dog...it's really not, but you have to use your head to get what I mean. The dog is not literally talking.
I would not call this a comedy, more like a "smirkedy". I didn't have a single "laugh out loud", but it kept my wife awake through most of it, which is a feat in itself! Probably because this move really leaves you wanting something to happen, and when it finally does, it's like, "really, what child thought that one up?"
