It's a pleasure to watch Robert Duvall, Bill Cobbs, Sissy Spacek and Bill Murray being completely comfortable within their wrinkly wrappers. Duvall, at 78, has the tics and snorts, Bill Cobbs the arthritic hands and stoop, Murray's genial smarm and Sissy still with those eyes like limpid pools you could fall into.
There're no real surprises anywhere in the movie. Anyone can tell at the beginning of every scene who's going to walk in and what's going to happen, but there is a chuckle or two, and as I say, it's fun watching old pros do what they do.
I do wonder why I'm becoming so compassionate toward obstreperous, cranky, crabby old men?
