This movie is one of the best examples of,"If it's not on the page... it's not on the stage."
Kudos to the casting director to be able to collect such a strong cast. The script is weak, at best, and it is no less than miraculous it was sufficient to get "yeses". Either a large number of favors were pulled in, or perhaps a truly brilliant strategy of leveraging the first to get the second and third etc.
However, despite the skills and experience of the cast (at least the elder statesman) watching the film is an endless series of cringing, from one awkward and unfunny sentence to the next.
I consider the film unwatchable, but gave it 3 out of 10 because it has value as a teaching film because the script is so many levels beneath the cast.
