Overview
After being released from jail, the son of a con man joins his father on the road.
While this movie isn’t going to win any awards, it is a surprisingly good buddy road trip comedy. I thought that it did a good job of showing how we shouldn’t be so quick to judge and that – if we keep an open heart – life might surprise us sometimes. And of course, it doesn’t hurt to have Christopher Walken playing Christopher Walken.
