Mismatched senior citizen, Carney, and free spirit, Tomlin working to solve a case involving a stolen cat and a dead private eye. The interaction between the two is about what you would expect, in other words friction that wears thin as the film progresses. The real problem is not the acting, but the script. It is confusing, and other than the two leads, character development is lacking. Anytime a movie has to pause numerous times so that action the audience has not seen can be explained as things move along, it is merely a crutch for a weak script. The viewer then is not only grasping to understand, but is losing interest, due to the stopping and starting. "The Late Show" would have been far better if the script was more fully developed. - MERK
