Hollywood pap masquerading as "serious indie filmmaking," Around the Bend features an excellent cast (Christopher Walken, Michael Caine, and Josh Lucas) and then proceeds to do nothing with it. The script from first-time writer-director Roberts is about as clichéd as they come, hitting all of the familiar notes without zest. The wildly eccentric behavior of the characters and the down-to-earth, real emotion the film sets out to evoke creates something very uneven. I honestly believe that Roberts was well-intentioned, but next time I hope he knows what he's doing. Don't even get me started on the little kid.
