Product Description

Duke White (Harvey Keitel) hasn't been an ideal father to his five boys. An inveterate gambler who never experienced a windfall he couldn't blow within twenty-four hours, he has come to the end of his rope, literally. Years ago, he signed up his three eldest sons for unsafe drug tests that turned out to have dire consequences: the boys' life expectancy have been substantially reduced. Upon receiving the news after their father's funeral, the sons return to their family home in Niagara Falls, where they respond to their eminent demises in different yet equally hilarious ways.

creative, original, funny

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

from the very beginning you can see this is going to be very very quirky. it is and successfully so. the plot is full of unexpected and comical twists, with an appealing flavor throughout. this is a film that hollywood would shun, but it is bright, original, funny, interesting. and the acting is quite good as well, at least as far as needed. one of the bright spots of the movie landscape.

you get part of my story..
the odds of having 5 boys is 6.25% or 1 in 16. i come from a family of 5 boys. Dead dad in '63. I was 4. oldest 6, youngest 11 mo. Mom committed to bringing us up. We didn't a first aid kit but probably should have.
My brother has 5 boys.
i could relate.
i wanted to stop it, and sleep, couldn't. Besides,
i can't sleep at night, (or during the day).
i thought it was well done, and parts were ironic and funny.

A slow start, but a great finish

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

This film takes a while to set up, although the premise is amusing from the start. However, it has a strong, sweet finish. It reminds me a little of "Raising Arizona" and "Bliss" (1985, the magnificent and under appreciated Australian film). All of these movies are a little dark, but decorated with fine comic setups, and ultimately deeply sweet sentiments about families, especially unconventional ones.

Two of the lead actors look like Nicholas Cage and Adam Sandler, which is kind of funny all by itself.

Yikes.!!!!!!

Total waist of time. I would have given it a zero if I could have. I guess I was hoping for some kind of redemption or something when I watched it all the way through. ??? Even the end sucked. This wasn't only bad it was corny as hell too.

Great movie

Harvey Keitel was awesome. Scott Caan and rest of the cast were great too.
This is a great feel good movie,... with a few bumps along the way.
Definitely worth seeing.

Great on paper, less so in practice

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014

I have an honestly tough time explaining why this movie didn't do more for me. All the pieces are there, from good performances(which you expect from Harvey Kietel or JK Simmons: less so from the often one note comic stylings of Jason Jones, who nails his part) to a quirky storyline, some sharp writing, some interesting twists.
All the same, there is a definite lack of edge here, a final connection that just isn't made with the audience. This is a collection of interesting characters, with interesting character traits, but I never found myself to really care all that much. It was a bit like being a passenger on a section of the interstate you've never been to, catching your eye but not really upsetting you as you pass by.

Good acting, *really* mediocre story.

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

The lives of the brothers was vaguely interesting but the wrap-around was very poor. No real resolution. At least, not one that took any writing talent - enter a deus ex machina, backflash layer cake that mom *didn't* let the boys take th epills, silver bar hero, lights out at just the right time and TAH DAH! everyone's happy.

Slather any dark story with a few more layers of deus ex and you can wrap up any story into a basket with puppy and a golden bow.

Only the acting saved it from a two star.

Probably only worthy of one star - but if you look real closely, the reviewer has a on second appearance. :)
