Better Late Then Never

Absolutely the worst movie.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is a mostly silly comedy which has some funny parts but is uneven at best. The summary is what Jeffrey says about one of his imaginary girlfriends whom he says was his 'first' in the smelly basement of the school. (Only in the deleted scenes on the DVD.)I only saw this movie because it has Anna Faris in it. I am a big fan of hers and am trying to see all her movies. In fact she is the best thing here, in a supporting role. Her character is the only fairly normal one who always is genuine and always tells the truth. Overall I would be hesitant to recommend this movie to a friend.Jon Heder ('Napoleon Dynamite') is Jeffrey Mannus , traumatized young when his dad died in an auto accident. In present time he is not 29 and still living at home. He is an amateur astronomer and mom has told him he can stay there until he makes his first 'discovery.'His mom is Diane Keaton as Jan Mannus . She has had much of a social life since her husband died and a friend is encouraging her to do something, maybe speak to the motivational speaker after a session, maybe ask him a question, maybe it will spark something.The motivational speaker is Jeff Daniels as Mert Rosenbloom . It turns out he also has a Jazz group and invites her to their Friday night jam session. Later we find out he fell in love with her the moment he first saw her.So mom and Mert start dating, Jeffrey is threatened and does everything he can to break it up. Much of it is very silly. Jeffrey's biggest problem is that he refuses to grow up, and is just an expensive slacker at the book store where he works.Anna Faris is Nora who works at a restaurant but is an aspiring singer. For some reason that makes little sense she is attracted to Jeffrey, but he is a man-boy in adult clothes.I also enjoyed Eli Wallach as family friend Seymour Warburton , and it is at his book store that Jeffrey works.

I loved this movie and think Jeff Daniels was funny, Jon Heder was cute and funny as heck and I have been a HUGE Diane Keaton fan since "Baby Boom" and she is the best actress in the whole world. The cast was perfect and the movie was funny and helpful to those old soul's that still live off mommy or daddy. LOL. Time to move on! I think there needs to be more movies like this made. Jon Heder continues to prove to be a wonderful actor and a funny man Diane Keaton will make movies forever and her and Jeff make a wonderful couple for movies like this and have great chemistry, clearly!! I am glad I went out and bought this movie and told everyone about it. In this day and age, we all need a good laugh and this movie did it for me and my family and friends. The sad thing is that with the economy, older children/adults might have to live back at home so here's to them! ~~Darcy~~

Poor John Heder, he needed a much better film. This is total garbage. Who allows people to make these kind of films? Just my opinion, (or maybe not after reading all the horrible reviews here), but time is precious and I can not believe I wasted my time watching this film. I'll bet you Keaton, Daniels and Wallach regret doing it and wasting their time just as much. ( Although being I don't know anyone that even heard this 'film', maybe they just quietly let it slide.) Again, how does Hollywood make this stuff? Terrible production! Is anyone supervising the (lack of) creativity? It looks as though it was a real low budget film, but then again you have higher priced actors in it. Normally I like well made low budget films, but I guess the low budget look here is really just the bad filmmaking. Guess Hollywood should concentrate on actually making better films, not just starring get higher priced talent to star in them.

Starts really well, nice intro and build up for the main characters but after about 5 minutes, the charm is lost.The character is in the same mould as the main protagonist from American Pie and Loser without the supporting cast or innovative storyline that made the Pie movies more of a commercial success.Let's be honest - Heder's acting was pretty poor. Keaton, Daniels and Faris did their best but had no substantial plot or script to get their teeth into The movie just plods on without any pace or clear logical storyline justifying its length.The ending is about as predictable as they come - so predictable I've ticked the spoilers box for this one line.My advice: avoid at all costs unless you really really have nothing else to do/listen to or watch and even then you'll feel the producers just cheated you out of an hour and a half of your life.
