Reeves often displays moderate to little affect onscreen; here his reserve suits the story, as the experience of acting helps the reticent loser find himself. Vera Farmiga crackles as the feisty star of the play, while James Caan, as the hero's accomplice, proves a most charming rogue.

With a terrific cast led by Reeves, Vera Farmiga and a splendid James Caan, this is a fun comedy with irresistible heist and heart.

Found it weird from the beginning.Henry made me wondering if he is autistic or just spineless dumb. By watching it further fell in love with him, Max and Julia. Film is definitely to explore human characters and not quick paced. Worth to watch if you like to think about human nature.

it's a slow movie but ultimately unpredictable..that's what's interesting about it . Keanu is inexpressive though, Vera Farmiga is a fabulous actor as well as James Caan

Caan and Farmiga give more to the material than it can return, but it sure is fun to watch them tangle.

Reeves has many arrows in his quiver, but screwball comedy isn't one of them.

Though the movie has some engagingly quirky moments, everything falls into place far too easily for much suspense to build, and the romance between the two leads seems as contrived as everything else.

While the absurdity builds, the intensity never does -- a problem shared by director Malcolm Venville's previous feature, "44 Inch Chest."

Although the premise of the movie was reasonably straight forward, there was a surprising level of depth to it. Reaves is not the most expressive actor going around and that part seemed to be lacking. Overall quite a good watch. Not predictable.

Vera Farmiga, Bill Duke, and James Caan are all stellar, but the pacing of this film is in the crapper. WAY too slow. We debated bolting at about the 80 minute mark, but felt we needed to stick around for the ending. I'm glad I did, but we wouldn't have missed much by leaving. By FAR, the best part of the movie is the soundtrack - it absolutely keeps you moving in your seat. (Probably meant to keep you awake.)

The idea is not bad but the actors could not feel more detached from the project. The biggest crime committed was not actually making the film but more so that they actually released it for general consumption.

I was looking forward to this movie as I do like Reaves and Caan, but I have to say, seriously, this is possibly the worst movie I've ever had the displeasure to sit through! James Caan's acting was the best here and Reave's was the worst, others were just ordinary at best. Don't waste your time!
