Blurb Movie Reviews- 'Around The Bend'



Quirky film about four generations of men. Michael Caine plays the eccentric grandfather, who after his death, makes his son [Christopher Walken], grandson [Josh Lucas], and great grandson [some kid], go on a trek to spread his ashes in places of meaning. All of which include stopping by KFC.

It's a great examination of the relationships between fathers and sons. Michael Caine's character is eccentric, but well meaning. Christopher's character is kind of shady, who allegdly abandoned Josh's character, who is the only normal one.

Spolier!!! So by the end of the movie when Christopher's chracter dies, you see that the men in this family have all learned to respect the man each of them are/were.

That cover pic makes Josh Lucas look like Nick from CSI. I still want to see Stealth, but the others you mentioned....meh. Maybe on cable.
