Simply put, this movie was awful. It was nice to see Alan Young again having not seen him since his Mr. Ed days, but the acting throughout was dreadful. The young couple who rob convenience stores should have used the money they stole to enrol in acting school. Their so-called acting has to be seen to be believed. Also, I doubt a very old man like the grandfather character would have been so accepting of homosexual behaviour, most old people brought up in a different era, are not accepting at all. I almost choked when Ernie says to the gay guy, "your eyes dance when you talk about Lance". The fact that this line rhymed, made it even worse. His daughter's husband's lines were totally unbelievable and he said them like he was reading from the script. Most of the dialogue didn't ring true, the acting was abysmal so my advice - don't waste your time or money on this dud.
