I only watched this movie last night, because the bad reviews, etc., made me weary. But out of boredom I decided to rent it from iTunes, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, no, it's not a groundbreaking film or particularly memorable, but I enjoyed it. I particularly love Harrison Ford in the role... he was great! He was simultaneously annoying/infuriating AND heartbreaking. The film itself wasn't what I was expecting at all - it was sort of dramatic when I thought it was going to be more of a straight comedy. If you're going back and forth on whether or not to just rent it, go a head and give it a try and judge for yourself. I was expecting a bomb, but it's really not. I don't think it was given a fair shot when it was released. Harrison Ford in particular got made fun of, with articles pointing out his "losing streak." But I don't see this role as a loss at all. It just made me realize how happy I am that he is still in the business. ANYWAY, I'll stop rambling now. Overall, it's a nice movie.
