Product Description

Wendell Baker (Luke Wilson) is a dreamer and schemer whose latest scam lands him in jail, alienating him from his longtime girlfriend (Eva Mendes). Eternally optimistic, Wendell makes the most of his time behind bars and vows to turn his life around. Upon release, he gets a job at a retirement hotel, where he befriends some of the elderly residents. Wendell's new friends advise him on how to win back his girlfriend, while he helps them battle the hotel's evil head nurse Neil King (Owen Wilson) and his right-hand man McTeague (Eddie Griffin).

    Bad pacing of story told a thousand times before. Eva Mendes role better suited for Juliette Lewis who already has the perfect East Texas drawl. Eva was too uptown for middle class Austin.

    Wanted to like it but didn't. The music was the best thing about this film.

    I had seen this on regular TV, and liked it, but it was a condensed version of the movie to allow for commercials. It is such a funny movie, with brother Luke & Owen Wilson in it, along with Eddie Griffith, & Kris Christopherson. I am glad to have it now in our DVD collection

    This movie is a kick! Really well done. Very quirky, very endearing. Good ensemble cast. Lots of laughs. If you like this one, then see Henry Poole was Here too - also very good. There is something very geniuine about both movies. Definitely my two favorite Luke Wilson movies. Hope there are more like these to come.

    1.0 out of 5 stars having a scene where simulate a child getting molested?????---disgusting!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I was watching this movie all right until, at the 7-minute mark, they have a scene where the main character is in the bathroom and holding a child so he can pee, but the visuals of a child getting molested are disgusting. Knowing what we know today about Hollywood being a cesspool of pedophiles, who in the world thought this scene was okay? The parents of the child? Casting? The writers and producers? And the main actor Luke Wilson. I mean, it is disgusting, awful. SOmeone was reliving about something they had already done or wished to do . EVIL!!!!!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2009

    It's an entertaining movie.
    The idea is hillarious but unfortunately some charakters are not plaid out to their full potential. Ex. the evil head-nurse played by Owen Wilson should have had a more important role, since he's brilliantly evil.
    Nevertheless I liked the movie, it's easygoing and the story climaxes slowly but surely.
    It includes romance and a short intermezzo of Will Ferrell which I certainly never expected.
