Users Reviews

The premise is inspired, but the only laughs come from Clooneys manic psycho-survivalist shtick.
A film without a goal
A meaningless flick without any sort of goal. Just a collection of very mildly interesting characters (who are supposed to be interesting because they are new age) in another collection of scenes without meaning.
Likely to see
Not for me
