Absolutely Fantastic

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Entertaining and crazy time for a medical doctor just trying to rid his yard of a raccoon...with a few complications on the way.

I must say, this is one of the more bizarre and interesting movies I've watched in a long time. The twists were great I thought. Very unexpected outcomes. We all need to suspend our disbelief when watching anything, maybe that was a problem for the people that gave this such a low rating on IMDb, but for me, the writing and acting made me stick with it, and I'm glad I did!So far, any movie I've watched with Tobey Maguire has worked for me, I think it's because he picks vehicles that are interesting. He is one of my favorite actors and never disappoints.Solid 8 stars!

Simply put, this film puts its lead to an incredible roller coaster ride by the middle of the movie, for the mistakes and choices he makes at certain points in the journey, which could mostly have been made by anyone of us going through the same situations. The consequences are nothing less than 'poetic justice' till the end. Ending is debatable but not certainly bad. The whole movie watching experience was an equal roller coaster ride for me.Casting is good. Lead actor looks perfect for the role. Most of the cast does good work.I'm writing this last line just because IMDb wants 10 lines in the review but just go, watch the movie on netflix (or anywhere else) and decide it for yourself.

Holy acting miracles Batman! This movie took it to a level twelve on a realistic scale as to normal human interaction. Yeah I agree it was one freak accident after another when it came to Toby McGuire's character, the bipolar neighbor, and the incredible sets of circumstances, the fetish desires contemplated over bad Internet sites, and the natural slowing of sexual desire in a marriage. This makes for a perfect setting for an explosion of bad "Murphy's Law" type karma for a normal type American guy that really never meant any harm to anyone. It's like suddenly an 9 year old kid finds a stick of dynamite with a light-able fuse on it. He knows somewhat better but suddenly he has the capability to kill others and himself in his ignorance.This movie is one of the best down to earth type stories, directed incredibly well, with a super talented cast of somewhat veteran actors. Well maybe not typical down-to-earth but one of those freak shows that really could happen to a normal type guy. Why this is a 6.2 I cannot understand. This is worth watching once a year for a few years in a row if you ask me. It's like a Film Noir version more likely titled "It's Not Such A Wonderful Life."Oh yeah and Dennis Haysbert who played Lincoln blew my mind in his acting ability for this role. Actually everyone in this movie has at least one genuine perfect moment of genius acting somewhere in their character's portrayal in this movie. Again, its worth watching more than once...
