I won't spoil why Affleck's character is the way he is but it is a dramatic moment and the music associated with the scenes is wonderful. Although there is a continuous storyline in my mind it was almost a bunch of vignettes. Some funny, some sad, some unnecessary, some beautifully filmed. This film is not wrapped up with a tidy bow in the end.

I agree with your account.

Gail and I were VERY disappointed with the movie.

We would NOT recommend it.
