Ranking June 2017's Movies From Worst To Best

Box Office: Woody Harrelson's $5 million indie comedy has made just north of $700,000 so far. Home video will probably save it, but nobody's getting rich off this.

Verdict: Harrelson certainly does a stellar job embodying the spirit of Daniel Clowes' graphic novel protagonist, and Laura Dern is also terrifically trashy as his estranged wife, but this dramedy too often leans on quirky indie comedy cliches and as such feels all-too-familiar.

Harrelson's hard-to-warm-to protagonist is sure to place a barrier on broader audiences, and though there is definitely some wisdom to mine from this tale of a neurotic a**hole meeting his teenage daughter for the first time, it ultimately lacks the smarts or insight to be truly memorable.
