Its almost as though someone has tried to emulate all the facets of "The Royal Tenenbaums", but here the quirky characters are somehow stale and contrived.
The story revolves around Andy Garcia's character, a prison guard and a pretty awful human being. When he bangs into the back of a stationary car he bullies the victim with no shame. In the past he had left a woman who was pregnant with his baby, and when this son turns up in his prison the real drama starts.
Although many people hail this film as some ingenious piece, it is way too saccharine and the coincidences far too unlikely. The son in the family, for example, has a fetish about obese women eating; and wow the woman across the road just happens to web-cast herself on the internet doing just that.
The story unfolds with enough yelling to make Moonstruck seem sedate but ultimately it comes across as a corny little outing. Don't bother with it.
