Top review. Not your typical fish-out-of-water comedy. For those of us who've tried to spend as little time in Iowa as possible, that little mantra's something of a joke, but escapism means something different to everyone.
Tim first meets Ronald Isiah Whitlock Jr. Then John C. Reilly storms onto the scene as Dean Ziegler a. Last would of course be Joan, who jokes around about seducing Tim but behaves otherwise. Heche seems to have found the path many actresses looking to rebound have taken: playing a damaged middle-aged woman trying to feel things out.
Essentially these characters are grown-up children in much the same way that the "The Office" brings playground dynamics to the adult world. Team-building activities and getting drunk are just the beginning for what these characters do and consequently how they behave.
For Tim, it's a long-delayed loss of innocence. He learns that even parts of his ho-hum life can have a two-faced nature; those people he believes to be bad end up good and vice versa. Director Miguel Arteta "Youth in Revolt" seems to show an adeptness at this kind of comedy, drawing performances from the cast that provide nuanced characterization and believability.
A comedy about Midwestern insurance agents doesn't work if the people don't seem average, yet at the same time, the characters are far from dull. The over-the-top comedic elements seem to push away from the dramatic, which is the film's greater strength. There's plenty of humor to be had in the nature of the story to the point that a scene with Tim going over the edge and smoking crack with a prostitute doesn't seem essential to say the least.
Tim's reactions to moral conundrums seem a bit exaggerated as well in terms of the writing. The ending lacks a bit of zing, but the intentions of Phil Johnston's script are pure and true. His focus stays on a well-cast protagonist and Tim's attitudes help create the perspective shift that allows us to enter the characters' shoes. The results are light-hearted and not preachy in the least. Details Edit. Release date March 18, United States.
