It’s not that this movie doesn’t have a few good moments. It does. When charmer Arthur Bach (Russell Brand) dresses up as Batman and Robin along with his personal driver Bitterman (Luis Guzman) it is difficult not to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Bach has always been spoiled while having access to plenty of money and he hasn’t worked a day in his life. But when Bach’s mother, Vivienne (Geraldine James), tells him he must pursue businesswoman Susan Johnson (Jennifer Garner) or be cut off, it becomes a vexing situation when he meets a young woman named Naomi (Greta Gerwig) and falls for her. It is a nice theme which is portrayed, the theme of following one’s heart.
However, the movie is saturated with sexual dialog and innuendos, not to mention a drinking scene it seems almost every few seconds, as well as strong language, and therefore we are unable to award the film our Dove Seal. Why not watch the family film “Soul Surfer” this weekend, which has received our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal?
