I liked this movie. The story is compelling but the script is a little long and sometimes feels like: "oh, let's put in this sort of scene".
Robert Duvall (The Natural) and Robert Downey Jr (Heart and Souls) play off each other well and are both excellent. The scenes that they are in, especially together, they dominate and own. Duvall's portrayal of an aging parent is very moving. Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) does well and is back on my radar for the future. Billy Bob Thornton (Love Actually) is 'lip-curling'-ly good (but I'm not a big fan...)
I recommend this and would see it again.
