Tom Warshaw (David Duchovny) is an American expatriate who feels it is time to tell his wife and son the truth about what happened when he was a kid. The action then shifts to Greenwich Village in the 1970s, when young Tom (Anton Yelchin) has recently lost his father and is trying to survive with his severely depressed mother (Tea Leoni). His best friend is an older, mentally challenged man named Pappass (Robin Williams); the two of them deliver meat together, go to the movies, and see each other in school, where Pappass is the assistant janitor. As his mother's mental state deteriorates, Tom becomes friendly with Lady (Erykah Badu), an inmate at the Women's House of Detention on Tenth Street; they talk about life and love, but Tom can't see her, as she speaks with him from behind the window of her cell up high in solitary confinement. When Tom starts falling for a rich girl, Melissa (Zelda Williams), Pappass acts out, changing everything. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

It will neither offend you nor will it take your breath away. Robin Williams is brilliant as always, Anton Yelchin is just average. The story is quite nicely written, but as something for the whole family it’s neither very funny nor very moving. Just average.

Sure, why not? David Duchovny didn't write a completely bad screenplay, although the reminiscing is definitely more interesting than the final resolution. Anton Yelchin already showed eleven years ago what a great actor he is, while Robin Williams didn't need to prove it anymore long ago. A great cast came together, making the film quite poetic and lovely, even though it has its depressing moments. But those also belong to it.
