There's a real warmth to this movie set in the winter of discontent. Stanhope is Jimmy Quinn (read Ben Sanderson) with better jokes which should automatically qualify him for an Oscar nomination. Honestly, I went in to the movie thinking; I wonder if he'll channel Nicolas Cage. He does. At least a little bit. He goes through all the emotions in this movie. Four of them alone in 30 seconds. Most of the time he goes to his happy a lot. Because all the other emotions suck. The happy is booze. At least until the end. Which brings us to David Maranto. Played by Des Mulrooney. Good performance. First acting role. Believable as Jimmy's son. Good acting and hit the mark on the jokes especially with the love scene. So Khrystyne Haje has been a junior high-school crush of mine since the TV show Head of the Class. She is phenomenal. Never missed a beat. Great performance. Still gorgeous and that not just my opinion but also according to the Prince of Monaco. Every character plays an important role. Tim Kazurinsky, Greg Fitzsimmons, Emma Darcy who plays Heather, the Hotel receptionist; they all delivered convincingly. Killer Termites will love the modified "Ants" joke from Stanhope's Die Laughing CD. There are other old jokes Stanhope says which brought a smile to my face. To be fair there was some things that was a head scratcher. The David/Mom scene came off odd. The steal from the church had no resolution. I got the joke but to do a closer of maybe leaving a pawn shop with Jimmy saying "Looks like the Lord is worth $50 bucks" would've been subtle yet a good payoff. I know everyone's a critic. Regardless the movie works. The story is good. Lives are solved. Motivations are solved. Goals are met, save one. This is good movie. Definitely worth the watch.
