    The most touching moments come from Amy Hill as Linh, who runs a nail salon located next to a strip of long-forgotten Hollywood Walk of Fame stars.

    Writer-director Nic Bettauer can't decide whether to play Duck for tears or laughs.

    The quirky characters they meet aren't quirky enough, and the political points Ms. Bettauer sprinkles into her script thud awkwardly.

    This movie was incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking. It has stuck with me and made me think about not only my life, but also the state of our country, and the fact that we have become so thoughtless and defeated as Americans. When did we stop being compassionate? Philip Baker Hall knows all. See this movie! Expand

    A poignant film about a man and his duck, Joe! The political aspect of the film is much more palpable than Happy Feet... A good film with a great message worth watching. Expand

    Very disappointing, amateurish uneven hodgepodge. I have great regard for Philip Baker Hall but can't think of how he got sucked into this one. Seems like there was no one who spoke up and tried to edit the screenplay or provide some governing theme. Lots of bad acting, too. Yikes. Expand
