a pretty interesting idea tossed into trash.
the story had so much potential to explore the topics of growing up and letting go, art block and small artists' troubles, even the beloved found family trope! but the creators decided to bury it all by making a movie about a creep who doesn't even learn any of his lessons at the end. no idea what the authors even wanted to say here.

(watched this for like 3 minutes of kieran culkin. loved his character so much too... when will i ever catch a break man)

Ryan Reynolds as an imaginary blonde, spandexed self esteem booster/voice of reason for a helpless middle aged man child. I really don't like Richard; he's extremely insufferable. I don't like his weird befriending/stalking of a teenager. Ryan Reynolds is easily the best part of this film as Captain Excellent, especially when he is calling Richard out on his shit. I kind of get what this film was going for, but at the same time, I really don't like its characters or decisions, even if I kind of understand why they are doing them.

Really only watched to see just how cute a younger Kieran Culkin and Emma Stone looked together, the answer is incredibly.
