Favorite Quote:
"I don't think you're dumb.... I just think at times you're under-exposed to information." - Murphy Brown
He was honestly the perfect style ‘bad guy’ for this piece.

If you’re a little tired of being hit over the head with the humor in films you’ve seen recently you might wanna give this one a try and see what you think. If you’re not paying attention to all that’s going on some of the humor might be lost on you but if you’re an active viewer I think you’ll enjoy the heck out of it!

Movie Grade: B

Synopsis:

A Chicago journalist (Matthew Broderick) suffering from memory loss takes leaves from his job and returns to his rural hometown, where he bonds with his Alzheimer's-impaired uncle Rollie (Alan Alda) and his old flame (Virgina Madsen). Quickly a plan is hatched for the trio to head to a memorabilia convention in the city, where Rollie hopes to sell a rare baseball card that has gained the attention of local ne'er-do-wells intent on scheming the old man out of a potential fortune.
