This film is a nice light comedy with some drama aspects in between. Nothing more and nothing less.

Mixed feelings.
Somewhere this could have been a very good film, but mixed with a strange, sometimes much too strong American comedy in between. The drama is sometimes very well done, but because of the tone you can often not take it very seriously.
Williams is back in fine form. Clearly one of the biggest losses we've had in the film industry. He can do a lot, although the tone of his hysterical comedy is a bit out of tune. For the rest he manages to save things a bit.
Kunis and Dinklage also deserve a mention. I was especially shocked by Kunis, because she normally never really impresses me, but somehow she still does it way above average. At first I feared that she had made the wrong choice, but that is not the case at all.
For the rest, the comedy is a bit bland. Because of the title, I expected several funny moments with Williams' anger, but those expectations were not exactly met. Although the drama is sometimes successful, it is drowned out too much by a bit too bland comedy.
For the rest it doesn't last too long and it doesn't really bore, but somewhere I was hoping for a much more challenging film. It just has to make a choice, which Robinson apparently couldn't make. Either you have to go more into the drama, or the comedy. But both don't work, and that proves itself a bit here.
