“I can see why this clunker only grossed a total of $12,000. It was that bad.nI had high hopes for it based on Patricia Arquette u0026amp; Rainn Wilson, but the little girl turned out to be the best actor in this one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI also learned why Rainn Wilson has not gone onto the success that his fellow cast mates from u0026quot;The Officeu0026quot; has, he can only play Dwight Schrutte. This movie was Dwight with a bad wig, as a father in a stupid badly written story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs far as the story, I donu0026#39;t get why the father needed to learn how to swim, to attend medical school (or receive a scholarship) or whatever the heck that was all about? The entire feel of it tries to recapture that u0026quot;Napoleon Dynamiteu0026quot; feel, but itu0026#39;s not the same.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e…and what is with the disco ball in the movie poster? Itu0026#39;s supposed to be 1982, not 1978. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI want my 93 minutes back.”
