This Will Ferrel starer features a wealth of talent including Dustin Hoffman and the always delightful Emma Thompson. Also present are Maggie Gyllenhaal(holy extraneous double letters) and NJ's own Dana Owens(Queen Latifah), two actresses of no small regard that I have never held in much regard.
Just goes to show what my regard is worth as both deliver solid performances. Gyllenhaal's is particularly notable as her character could prove utterly insufferable in the hands of a less talented actress.
Wil Ferrel is likeable and the story itself has a Vonnegut or rather Vonnegut lite feel. No complaints here, but my wife ran for the hills after about ten minutes so it's not for everyone.
