Nearly every step the movie makes feels completely random, with no payoff.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Thank your lucky stars I had to see Gil Cates Jr.'s darkly comic misfire early enough to warn you against wasting your own time and money.
Mr. Hanks performs with customary blankness and a woeful lack of chemistry with his hardworking co-star.
Nothing is bleaker than failed black comedy, which this is.
The concept, perilously high, is further overloaded by performances that are perilously broad, particularly from Graynor and an ill-used Ann-Margret as Ben's mother.
