The main reason to see this movie is because of the team up Downey, Jr. and Duvall. They completely carry this movie from beginning to end and with an ending that for once seems to fully end a story with a satisfying conclusion that compliments the characters without feeling overly emotional or syrupy. This is not by any means a great movie but the acting of everyone in this movie is great and made it a great watch. They story line is a typical prodigal son returns home, doesn't want to be there, and they ends up realizing he does. But despite that cliche being the catalyst for the story line it never felt forced, while the power of Downey and Duvall as they pole positioned their characters to the end helped to sell the cliche aspect of it. I fully bought in to their characters development and how they stayed true to themselves throughout the movie.
