I enjoy the work of Steve Martin, so this was a film I was looking forward to watching this film.
Sadly though, it's not worth the time. It's slow, it's overly sentimental and all in all a simple waste of time.
Steve Martin can do all out laughs, he's shown that in films like 'Bowfinger', he can also do quietly comedic roles like 'Shop girl'. However this one seems to be neither. His character is dull and the moments where he does try and be funny seem more odd than funny.
We are introduced to unlikable character after unlikeable character and in the end you wonder where the 'comedy' in this touted comedy drama have gotten to.
Overall - poor.
