of the ages.

It wasn't lol funny at all. It wasn't even heartwarming. It was quiet without crescendo whatsoever. Can't believe the GG awards it got!

IMHO, moderately satisfying. Lots of anarchronisms for 1972 setting!!!

I'd give it like maybe a C+ yo a B-
??

PS just rewatched Sideways and Giamatti same kind of curmudgeon in this flick
