First Hit: This is a very uneven film, and didn’t seem to know if it was a comedy or a drama.
One of the impressions this films left me with is: If during an airplane ride I go to the restroom, leave the door unlocked, get naked and sit there, the next person who enters will have sex with me.
Just don’t think this is true. Victor (played by Sam Rockwell) works at a historical theme park and has a sex addiction. He goes to his SA meetings and bangs the woman he is sponsoring during the meeting. His best friend is also a sexual addict but really wants to work the program and eventually succeeds in creating a relationship.
Sam goes to a nursing home to visit his mother Ida (played by Angelica Huston). Ida suffers from dementia and rarely recognizes her son. Victor meets her new doctor Paige (played by Kelly Macdonald) and wants to have sex with her.
However, as he spends time with her he thinks he likes her and when she proposes sex in the nursing home chapel, he can’t perform. Victor pays for the expensive treatment at the nursing home by choking himself in restaurants and finding the right person who will perform the Heimlich maneuver, feel sorry for him, and give him some money.
The director Clark Gregg never clearly decided what kind of film he wanted to make. There were some wonderful touching and insightful spots in this film that were wiped out by too many scenes that were way too long, didn’t add to the story, and were poorly executed. And it just wasn't that funny.
Overall: There was a smattering of a good and quirky film lying inside this story, but overall it played out very poorly.
