Welcome to the Rileys: On a business trip to New Orleans, a damaged man seeks salvation by caring for a wayward young woman. (6.9)
Director: Jake Scott
Writer: Ken Hixon
Stars: James Gandolfini, Kristen Stewart, Melissa Leo
I guess, "nobody's perfect" is the take home message from the story, but it takes forever to deliver that. An original thought by the writer in juxtaposing a mid-western family with a New Orleans stripper. But in my opinion, it needed a bit more meat in the story. With New Orleans as the backdrop I feel that they should have had a few more outside shots giving justice to the city. Acting by the big names is quite good, considering that the audience is required to fill in the gaps, specially those that are left open inside the actors heads. Sure, it is a thinking person's movie, but a tiny bit was missing, IMHO. My Rating: 6.5
