Viewing Notes

Impulse grab off the quick picks shelf at the library mainly due to the assembled cast (I’ll watch anything with Elizabeth Banks). Thought it would be a throwaway viewing but turns out I rather enjoyed this little comedy about the ne’er-do-well w/a heart of gold. Rudd is perfect in that role.

This isn’t a rush out and see it film but very watchable for the good casting and family dynamics.
