Sleepwalking

It is really hard to recommend this movie to anyone, especially with how much I tried and wanted to like it.....what it feels like you are doing as it plods along to nowhere yawn.....The characters in this movie are enjoyable to watch....the story doesn't go anywhere but straight into cliché, predictable drama.....Woody Harrelson indeed has a bit part as well..... ...

isn't a terrible film....the picture drowsy and poorly groomed....The film is a dissection of damaged goods....in place of a steady hand guiding matters to believable and sympathetic ends, director Bill Maher (not that one) takes the picture to unwanted extremes of behavior and guilt.....Maher and screenwriter Zac Stanford ("The Chumscrubber") have a profusion of ideas and moods.... ...
