Plot: In 2009, when Los Angeles' last city park is closed to the public, a dispossessed man and the duck who follows him as a mother quest west, on foot, in search of water and meaning, in the desert that i...( read more read more... )s L.A. Arthur is a retired history professor who has outlived his time and place, friends and family, resources and reasons to live. In the park where his son and wife are buried, Arthur contemplates putting an end to his own life, when he is confronted by an orphaned duckling who has just escaped death. Arthur names this duckling Joe. Joe follows Arthur, the only mother he knows. When their park is landfilled and their pond is drained, Arthur and Joe engage in a Sisyphean struggle to survive, seeking a means to live, a place to live, and a purpose to live, in a world where their lives are not valued. In their search, Arthur and Joe encounter a host of strangers--some hostile, some helpful, some heroic--until, finally forming a community and a home. If we are but six degrees of separation from one another, are we as few to being alone?

    Dumb. Here's the thing, this was SUCH a good idea for a movie, and it was done SO wrong... the screenplay made no sense... he mentions WWII and Kilroy was here, then decides to name the Duck Joe... there were absolutely no transitions between scenes, the music was overly distracting, and all the extras were terrible actors that just kept pulling away from the ultimate point of the movie... which I guess there were several of... also a bad idea... Started out strong, and then committed suicide within the first five minutes... This movie could have been great 50 years ago, as a cartoon, or as a high school senior's film project where the budget was ... a duck... to whom I give one star.

    What made this movie good was the fact that a duck was in the whole movie. I felt saddened that they were both homeless, but at least they had each other

    I waited two years to see this film and it was well worth it. I felt so bad, so scared for the two of them in a harsh Jeb-Bush-as-president world...
