About this movie

Clive Owen shines in this irresistible comedy as Walt, a down-on-his luck carpenter tasked with entertaining his eight-year-old son Anthony while Anthony's mom (Maria Bello) and her new husband are away. But when Walt's prized toolbox is stolen, a quiet father-and-son weekend turns into an adventure of a lifetime. Aided by an oddball drywall repairman (Patton Oswalt), Walt and Anthony go on a wildly funny search for the thieves—and find something they never imagined: a true family connection.

Not the part for Clive Owen! He played the part better in Derailed & The Boys Are Back (drama genre). In addition, the plot wasn't all that great

A bit pathetic, sad and disturbing. The father son bonding is the only redeeming factor.
