Robert DeNiro, Sean & Robin Wright Penn,
I really wanted to like this movie. But it was slow and boring,.. and sad. I changed position in my seat a dozen times. DeNiro plays a getting-older movie producer. Nothing seems to be going right for him, either in his personal life or his professional one. Trying to be a good dad to his kids from two marriages, proably paying huge alimonies for two huge houses, drugged-out writer/directors and spoiled leading men, constant phone calls, If he could only let out his feelings, but he keeps everything all bortled up inside. I left the theater feeling really sad. There WERE some good laugh-out-loud places, but not enough to redeem the overwhelming sadness for this life. It makes you SO appreciate the one you've got!
