Answers to Nothing

0.2
The film is exactly as useless as it sounds. Taking advantage of the ancient movie myth that an audience should generally care about other people's problems if they are relatable, the film is a mess. Mental illness, senile parents, drug addiction, blah, blah, blah. We've seen this movie a thousand times before and like its predecessors, it offers no answers to its various real world problems. Sympathetic characters with sympathetic problems are neither engaging nor fulfilling. The film's only saving grace is Dane Cook, in his first serious role, who unknowingly delivers his finest comedic performance to date in a film.
