A man (Broderick) suffering from memory loss takes a trip to a memorabilia expo with his Alzheimer's-impaired relative (Alda) and his high school flame (Madsen), where the trio plans to finalize their scheme to sell a rare baseball card.[1]
The movie opened to generally mediocre reviews, with just 33% of critics followed by Rotten Tomatoes giving it a favorable review. USA Today said that it "has moments of sweetness, but not enough poignancy or wit to turn it into the endearing art-house comedy that it aspires to be." Time Out New York said, "Great, just what we needed: another rote exercise in indie-feely humanism."[4]
