CGiii Comment
The big surprise is Seann William Scott - he delivers a performance that will do nothing but help his career...gone is the oaf!
The other surprise comes in the form of the director, Courtney Cox..and what a cock-up she made of this.
Somewhere in there, hidden behind all the unnecessary and painfully unfunny vulgarity, is a decent little film...however...Cox manages - spectacularly - to not see the wood because the trees got in the way.
Flebotte is a television writer - that's what he does best, that's where he should remain - for film is most definitely not his medium...obviously, running out of ideas after 40 minutes or so - the Loch Ness monster incarnation is ridiculous.
An unnecessarily crude film that tries to be both cute and sentimental...it misses those targets by a mile.

The(ir) Blurb...
Ted Morgan has been treading water for most of his life. After his wife leaves him, Ted realizes he has nothing left to live for. Summoning the courage for one last act, Ted decides to go home and face the people he feels are responsible for creating the shell of a person he has become. But life is tricky. The more determined Ted is to confront his demons, to get closure, and to withdraw from his family, the more Ted is yanked into the chaos of their lives. So, when Ted Morgan decides to kill himself, he finds a reason to live.
