(Taking one for the team, two screen-flickering hours at a time)
Pros:
- It has some lovely moments, and the lead is terrific, if playing it a bit too Wide-eyed Woodland Creature.
- Hope Davis shows up, as does Robert Downey, Jr. We love them.
Biggest Pro:
- I was fairly certain, THE WHOLE TIME, that Robert Downey Jr. was [this] close, repeatedly, to singing Leadbelly's "Midnight Special" while applying extra virgin coconut oil to his pecs (Don't worry if you didn't catch it upon first viewing: it's subtextual).
Cons:
- It falls short of the "Harold and Maude" mark. I know "Harold and Maude," Sir, and you are no "Harold and Maude."
- Hope Davis is painfully underutilized and she never makes out with Robert Downey, Jr.
- Neither do I.
- Also, Robert Downey Jr, whilst possibly contemplating some sweet, sweet moisturizing, never actualizes that damn jar.
End of act three note:
Just before the group swaying the that old Coke ad ("I'd like to teach the world to sing,") I realized RDJR was never going to oil up; I then forcibly choked myself to death on my official Martha Stewart no-slip throw rug underliner.

I hope you left it noted in your living will that whoever finds your lifeless body must put the non-slip pad neatly back in place....
