Review: Although this movie seemed very cheaply made, you can't fault the performance by Robin Williams who is an unemployed actor trying to get some money together to pay his alimony to his ex-wife. After getting terrible investment advice from a friend and also getting unhelpful advice from his dad, he ends up totally stressed out because he's worried that he won't be able to see his kids if he doesn't get the money together. The storyline is pretty average but Robin Williams made the movie emotional and very believable. The grainy camera work was really poor and the film did look extremely dated, but it's still a watchable for this day and age. Average!
Round-Up: This is another look at how versatile Robin Williams acting style really was. He isn't cracking any funny jokes throughout the movie and he really does show the intensity of the whole situation with his character, especially near the end of the movie. Jerry Stiller, Ben Stiller's dad, was funny in the movie and the chemistry between both characters really did work. It's not in the same category as the top class movies from Robin Williams, but it's good to see how he has grown as a actor from watching his earlier movies. There really isn't any other actor that has his range.
I recommend this movie to people who are into there deep dramas about an out-of-work actor who invests his money to pay his alimony. 4/10
