My Review:
An aging, booze-addled father (Bruce Dern) makes the trip from Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son (Will Forte) in order to claim a million-dollar Mega Sweepstakes Marketing prize. This is a father-son road trip with some surprises along the way, and a few heartfelt moments. June Squib and Bruce Dern were both nominated for Academy Awards for their performances. Stacey Keach plays an old nemesis who stirs things back up again. Well written, nice messages about family and what’s really important in life. Shot in black and white. A bit slow going, but charming.
