The movie stars Paul Dano (The Extra Man L.I.E.), Zooey Deschanel (The Good Girl, 500 Days o Summer), Ed Asner (Up, Gypsy), jane Alexander (Brubaker, In the Custody of Strangers), John Goodman (Rosanne tv, Barton Fink), Ian Roberts (Wah-Wah, Upright Citizens Brgade), Robert Stanton (The Quiet American, Love or Money), and Zack Galifianakis (The Hangover, Due Date)
The plot of the movie is Dano, who sells matresses, has had a life long desire to adapt a baby from China falls in love with Deschanel who works for her eccentric father. Deschanel freeks out and breaks up with Dano but is won back, I think, at the one week aniversery of Dano getting a baby. While all of this s going on Dano is being hunted by this homeless guy, Galifianakis, who gets killed by Dano in a back alley fight that is thrown into the plot for a reason I am still trying to figure out.
If you want a typical movie stay away from this one. It reminds me of The Royal Tannabaums, I Hart Huckabees and Naked Lunch on the bizzar-o-meter. Danos character is a little morose. Dano and Deschanel are in this fish out of watter love story. Asners character is kind of neat. While I have never seen Mad Men, Asner could be Don Drapper transported to 2011. (I assume Drapper is more of a womanizer then Asner character but shows other traits of a bussiness man from the era).
The ending is a little diffrent but shows a very loving family that makes the overall movie better. Im rating the movie as a C+ (a C- untill the ending brought up the grade.) So I would say if you are in the mood for a bizzar love story take the time for this movie but be prepared for some characters you dont see in movies very often. It is diffrent.
