    A generous 1 star for a terrible film
    I don't even know where to begin with this dumpster fire.

    Terribly choppy editing that doesn't aid the viewer in wtf is happening. It goes from jimmy dying, a quick cut and suddenly the ex daughter in law is getting married, then just as suddenly she's coming back from their honeymoon.... MAYBE, nothing is said about it, they're just moving into an apartment. Then the next day, next week or month, who knows, certainly zero details are being given for us to know how long, she's seen being hit, and son in law as well.

    Next day they've up and moved out to another state.

    Dont worry, the stupidity doesn't stop there, in what SEEMS like no time at all(because its the next scene), literally has the old folks chasing after them.... Yet when they get to bum fk nowhere, when they catch up with the daughter in law, she's talking about her new town like she's been living there for a while, a long while, yet apparently hasn't been working her new job very long because she can't even work the cash register.

    Grand parents push things with the super creepy jackoff family of inbred hillbillies, and gramps ends up losing a few fingers... don't worry, he'll still open a door knob with it later on with a ton of bandages and likely zero practical grip strength.

    Grams decides to be stupid enough to ask some random Indian kid that they ran into for a few hours earlier in the trip, to just move themselves into his shack, as if he even wants the company.

    But don't worry, after he does provide them with some help in an exceptional life and death situation, she drives off without offering him a home to live at..... it's really odd especially now that her husband is dead because of her actions.

    Sheriff of hicklebury town doesn't care what the family of inbreds do, even maiming folks is A-ok in his book.

    There was a lot of other BS in this movie, so much so that even my wife was pointing out stupidity from the characters, the plot, the acting, and almost every other aspect. Which she hates listening to me pick movies apart, so for her to notice and point them out, means a lot.

    I felt embarrassed for these brilliant actors due to the poor script
    The premise of the story was good, the cast comprise of two of the best actors in the business and the budget must have been substantial to enable the re-creation of America in the 50's, yet the movie felt disjointed and I felt awkward just watching these brilliant actors struggle with the extremely poor script they had to work with. The scenes jumped too frequently, missing key interactions between characters. It was a mess.

    I couldn't watch the whole movie because the directing, script and editing was so bad. If this had been the first roles for these outstanding actors, I doubt they would have become the world famous movie stars we all know. These actors performances were made to seem second rate purely because of the poor dialog they had to work with. I will avoid watching any other movies written and directed by these muppets. I also advise other famous actors to steer well clear of any projects involving these makers.
