I watch a lot of films. A lot. (Except for horror, which I just cannot abide). And I have to say that this is the first film in a long time that has had me laughing out loud with uncontrolled bursts of laughter in moments of such raw and unbridled hilarity that my own laughs kept catching me by surprise.
Except for the basic premise, I had no idea what awaited me in the film. Of course, I knew that with Jason Bateman as both lead actor and director that it was going to be a fun ride. And I wasn't disappointed.
Bateman's characters wears his calm exterior like a suit of armour. But underneath, you can sense the tangled mess of emotions and psychological issues and unfulfilled promise. He plays the character well.
And Rohan Chand as his top rival in the competition is a B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T blend of innocence and inchoate badassness. He played the part perfectly.
A fantastically enjoyable film.
