50Colorless exposition and a lack of imagination or wit stall Father of Invention at the starting gate.
-
50Make no mistake, Father of Invention is the hilarious Spacey's show all the way.
-
40Spacey is ever the pro, shilling Axle's absurd redemption and countenancing the likes of Johnny Knoxville and John Stamos as if a third Oscar were in the offing. Yet his female costars fare worse, forming an unfortunate collection of dismal, man-dependent stereotypes, from Belle's perma-pouting idealist to Heather Graham's breast-obsessed, sapphic-by-choice ballbuster.
-
38There's no spark or humor to the film's situations, just the sense of capable actors trying to make the best of a hopeless situation.
