Well, I guess if one feels that if nothing blows up, and no one is killed, that "nothing happens" in this movie, then one would be correct. However, if you want to see one of the great actors of the last 30 years (Ned Beatty) and an up and coming insanely great actor (Lieb Schriver) just have normal interactions, that are still riveting, for they are so real, then this is the movie for you. Just watching these two guys interact is wonderful. And the puppies are really cute (not to mention Lieb Schriver). Sorry if I spelled his name incorrectly. In any event, this is one of the few DVDs I have bought. This and Napolean Dynamite, which might give you an idea of how widespread my tastes are! But heck..to each his own, right? I think this is a terrific website, too!
