Smart, sweet, hip, and engaging, this film celebrates the precipitous fall and rise of an oxymoronic movie hero - a winning loser who follows his own path. Baker, a lovable con man with high ambitions and low energy, likes to dream and scheme about tomorrow, without paying any attention to the realities of today. He embarks on a great comic misadventure that in a sometimes roundabout, but always entertaining, way, leads straight to happy endings. (ThinkFIlm)

The ending for this movie is really lame. The conclusion seems rushed and tacked on. I did laugh a few times watching this movie but not enough to recommend it.

Starts well, with an enjoyable first act which seems at first to be going somewhere. Unfortunately the script doesn't know what to do with itself and decides on a rambling, cliched "wacky old retirement home folk show the main character how to get his life back together" archetypal plot resolution device. It's too bad, because it showed promise and (Luke) Wilson's performance is actually really good. Oh well.

A disappointing movie, because it has a good cast. The story is weak and not convincing.
