I was getting desperate for a 'Y' movie, so I settled on the first one I could find. I've been on a Chazz Palminteri kick, and this one places him as a gambler trying to scam the casinos for a big win with the help from his wife.
Now things take a more personal/domestic turn when Chazz's son drops by, having been kicked out of his group home because he's a down syndrome guy with violent/inappropriate tendencies. So the movie is Chazz trying to reconcile things with this son of his, who can range from tolerable to asshole.
Now, I've dealt with special-needs before, and I don't have much patience with them. But with that said, this guy doesn't seem totally unbearable, though he does have a potty-mouth and some rapist tendencies. đĻ
So I started wondering if this guy was actually retarded or not. It appears as though he is not retarded, so I guess that means he did a great job. This movie would be canceled if it were made today. Some snowflake would bitch that this movie is taking acting jobs away from the real 'tards who
There's not a whole hell of a lot to say about this movie otherwise, but I liked it.
