What a profane film this is! For some reason, maybe because Morgan Freeman starred in it, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. I had also forgotten how much of a bitter, old and profane man Ed Asner has become and this role fit him, unfortunately. "Lou Grant," he ain't, anymore.
What's even more disgusting is Bette White in here. Yes, the "Golden Girl" and "Mary Tyler Moore Show" favorite, talks like a scumbag in here, too. It just shows you these classic-era actors are no morally better than the younger people of today. The only difference is that the veterans weren't allowed to swear. If had been able to, well, this film is an example of what we would have heard.
The language, which including six usages of the Lord's name in vain in the first 15 minutes, was too unappealing for me. The constant rain in this also helped the dreary atmosphere. Dreary, depressing, too profane with unlikeable characters. Yeah, I can see why this movie bombed at the box office.
