Grade: B-
The performances were all solid. John Hamm especially stood out, which is good since he’s the main character. He does a good job with his expressions saying more than his dialog. Alan Arkin, as expected, takes a little role and gives it the polish and perfection he does with everything. He pretty much owns every scene he’s in.

There are some amusing scenes but that’s about as good as the humor gets.
The story is predictable but the pacing of the movie kept me engaged. I think where the movie falls short is that there’s not enough at stake for any of the characters. Even if the boys from India don’t make it, they still end up with a great experience and more money than they could have ever hoped for. JB (John Hamm) has a lot riding on the success of his plan, and if he fails then he might lose his company and amazing house, but it’s not like he’s going to be impoverished. Basically, if the story ended with the worst case scenario it wouldn’t be a tragedy. I think that’s what holds the story back from being truly inspirational.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Must have app if you love the movies
If you’re like me and enjoy a 92oz soda as part of the movie experience, you’ll be thankful for this app telling you the best times to go for a quick break. Whether that’s to refill your soda or recycle it.
Possibly an even better feature is the info on if the movie has after credits scenes. There’s nothing worse than sitting there reading about who the key grip was, then finding out that’s all you did. I blame Marvel for the stupid trend.
Seriously, I see a dozen movies a month and use this app every single time. Worth every Penny of the infinity coin thing I bought.

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
