A movie that crams way too much in for its own good

What could go wrong with such a high quality cast & production that is so well connected? Well I had to see for myself. The performances were good considering what they were given to work with. A script that tries to cram too much flash & expose for its own good.The plot like a Seinfeld episode has Floyd, played by Andy Garcia, accidentally hits Samuel (Emory Cohen) with his car. Unbeknownst to him, Samuel is very troubled individual. Feeling guilty, Floyd invites Samuel to stay with his family & to be his autobiographer.I feel that this film tried too hard to be too many things. The script & direction needed more focus. I thought things would improve when Samuel moved in with Floyd's family. It had a Royal Tennebaum's vibe but the laughs were few & far between. Meagan Fox stole every scene that she was in but she was under utilized. The pacing was off & the movie as a whole suffered for this.Disturbed Samuel thought that he was moving into home life that he never had. But little did he know that the family had their own quirks & issues. This should have led to more laughs but the first half of the movie moved at a glacial pace & the quirkiness that we hoped for never materialized.That when the payoff comes at the end, it was just too rushed & everything too nicely tied up. Aside from the good performances & high production values, I can't honestly recommend this.

very confusing movie, it is about nothing and full of dryness

Like how they mxing up the elegancy with the dryness humour 70's background element (especially the music) especially with 80's vibe with current dialogues Such a waste on the lame special effects.... could easily be done better. Understand maybe they want to bond it with the dryness and therefore lameness into the movie.The acting of the villain man is just great and how they set up his character and props is good.Like the story it is so disturbing but also so genius.Pity the acting is just average even like B movie quality.Sound is strange hard to judge it all... The special effect is maybe not great but it did a good combination with the whole movie.Pity so much potential, love much of it but because there is about nothing i do not know what i should do.
