I almost wanted Montana Jordan to be the complete opposite of Josh Brolin (which probably would be unrealistic), but the story needed better conflict between the two other than “Jaden was held back” arguments…he just comes off as the young Joe Dirt most of the time. Danny McBride’s browbeaten photog just doesn’t have enough direction and the pervy parts of the story involving him telling sex stories to Buck’s son also don’t match the tone enough. It might have worked if it had been better written because he is a strong actor. He’s still playing his gruff Josh Brolin character that he’s adapted over the years, but they try to mix humor with it. Josh Brolin is an interesting choice for the lead. The characters are completely lacking of interest due to the fact they bounce back and forth in their portrayals within the film…it is a mess. It borderlines raunchy without quite crossing over nor is it schmaltzy which it sometimes feels like. The film then devolves into a horribly unbalanced comedy that can’t quite decide its tone or sense of humor.

The opening of the film is largely Buck’s TV series Buck Fever which is cheesy, syndicated cheap TV.
