Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

SnoopyStyle Andy Hayes (Jay Baruchel) is a degenerate out-of-luck gambler in Hamilton, Canada. Reuban (Randy Quaid) is owed money and vows to kill him. Reuban gives him an hour and a bit to get his life in order. After failing to find a hooker, they go for a short visit to Andy's grandmother (Jayne Eastwood).This is a small indie comedy drama. The starting premise makes no sense. One can't collect from a dead man. It feels fake but I'm willing to buy that Reuban is lying. It's never threatening since I don't believe he's going to kill Andy. There is a manufactured sensibility about the whole thing. Quaid is throwing in an Aussie-like accent. Baruchel is trying his jittery best. It would help if the writing is funnier and sharper. It's interesting to have Quaid and Baruchel throw lines at each other but this is nowhere near good enough. There is a final twist that could have been really compelling. It's just that the whole story isn't set up well.

TxMike Very curious movie. Several times I considered turning it off, but something kept me watching. I saw it on Netflix streaming movies.Randy Quaid is Reuban, we don't learn anything about his background but we do observe that he speaks with an Australian accent. He seems to work for a loan shark, as an enforcer. He makes sure debts get paid back.This day he is observing a ratty corner store where we see Jay Baruchel as Andy Hayes buying scratch-off lottery tickets and, once again, comes up empty handed. As he leaves the store Reuban drives up to intercept him. Seems that not only is Andy a bad, compulsive gambler, he has not gotten in debt to the tune of $68,000 and has no apparent way to pay it back. Reuban tells Andy that if he can't pay back the money by 3PM, he may not survive the day. So he asks Andy, where do you want to go, what do you want to see.Except for a small scene at his grandma's house, the movie is pretty much Reuban and Andy driving around, and talking. I enjoyed it at some level, both Quaid and Baruchel are excellent, but overall I can't give this movie a high rating or a recommendation.SPOILERS: At the end of the riding Reuban takes Andy to a secluded place, they get out of the car, Reuban pulls out a gun, tells Andy "this is it" and we hear a gunshot. Reuban has developed an incurable cancer, he shoots and kills himself, leaves an envelope titled "ANDY" and inside is a check for $68,000 so that Andy can get a fresh start. Was Reuban really Andy dad? We don't really know why Reuban has taken sympathy on Andy.

pearshaper Look this film is pretty good. But as an Australian i have to say this. Randy Quaids accent was awful! It confused me why an American was playing an Australian in a Canadian setting? Why did he have to do the ridiculous accent? Why couldn't he be from the states why Australian? He's a good actor.I have loved him since "vacation". The movie is clever and the end is good. There is some great scenery and i got a good feel for the Canadian winter. I enjoy a well written film and this was the only thing was the awful accent. I suppose as an Australian it was that bad. I really couldn't get into the movie because of the crap accent...and that's a shame.

jammer53 i would have voted 15 if possible, randy Q. shows a side of acting i had failed to see, i knew he was a fine character actor, always supporting but he is the mac. Daddy in this excellent film there are so many gems in this film and make no mistake its a gem, follywood dumbs us down so much that movies like this stand out like light in the night. I wont give you details. this film must be seen at least 2 times, like one poster said i am the only one around me that has seen this movie and i cant talk about it, acting by all is top notch. This film shows us that a great film can be made without blowing up a car with massive blood shed, involving armies, and corrupt police, This film touched me i will buy it keep it view it
