    Well, since Kirk Douglas was in 'Spartacus' and 'Paths of Glory', the latter of which I have yet to see (but it's a Kubrick so I will), I thought I'd give this a go. Saw it with my brother and my gran. My brother kept a fairly straight face throughout, pausing only to chortle ...( read more)weakly at the pitiable development of the film in general, and my gran merely mused over the fact that she is roughly 20 years away from being Douglas senior's age, and hoped she would not become as pathetic as his character.

    To the plot, fair citizens, to the plot. It screams American stereotype family drama/comedy (ya know, grandfather/father relationship goes sour, road trip sorts it out, father learns not to make same mistakes with his own son, who is a difficult teenager; they bond bla bla bla), so if you encompass a particular dislike to the genre don't bother.

    The acting. Bacall and Douglas (the movie pokes fun at the poor man having a stroke, for heaven's sake!) do what they can with their roles of, ahem, LIMITED personality. McCarthy is ok, so is Aykroyd. Corbin Allred, who plays the 15 year old grandson, was actually in his 20's at the time, therefore giving a more mature performance, but still believeable.

    Nothing special. I'd dig for diamonds somewhere else (not THERE, folks).

    This movie is guaranteed to be horrible so here is some Billy Squire for your amusement:

    "Now everybody, have you heard
    If you're in the game, then the stroke's the word
    Don't take no rhythm, don't take no style
    Got a thirst for killin' - grab your vial... "

    First pers...( read more)on to name that song will get an invisible bowl of rice. Nothing will stifle hunger like Uncle Ben's invisible rice, homestyle.
