       A drunken uncle (Malkovich), a naïve nephew (Zachar), a con man (Goodman), a leaky boat.

       It’s fun to see Malkovich with hair, thin and wispy but definitely hair. But I’m falling asleep.

       I think they’re aiming for quirky but not getting there. A moment of seriousness lifts it, and Malkovich is always good, but there really isn’t much to it.
