Spirituality and Practice
Rating: 3/4 --
While the main character is a darkly morbid individual apparently at war with the world, through the people around him he begins to see things in a different light, the building emotions bubbling inside of him ones just about everyone can relate to.

Matches every cliché with a bit of melodrama.
Washington City Paper
Many of Ben's complaints are totally valid.

Film Threat
While this movie is earnest and well-intentioned, it doesn't quite work.
At the Movies
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The movie itself is a little too tidy, a little too determined to convey a lesson, but the character sticks with you.
Seattle Times
Rating: 2.5/4 --
There's ultimately little doubt that the movie is far more successful as a showcase for Broderick's stirring work than as a fully realized drama...

Product Description:
A pessimistic pothead struggles with his own cynicism after his Senegalese roommate is stricken ill and an insensitive municipal employee inadvertently exacerbates an already desperate situation. Ben Singer (Matthew Broderick) wanted to be a children's folk singer; instead he's become a career proofreader and the world's worst weekend dad. But while Ben's life may be a mess, at least his regular chess games with his roommate, Ibou, offer some amount of intellectual release. That all changes when Ibou falls mysteriously ill, and his malady is compounded by the indifference of a rude municipal employee. Convinced that his negative world view has finally been confirmed, Ben channels all of his energy into a frivolous lawsuit against the city before discovering that his misanthropy may be a simple matter of perspective.
