so bad, so very bad.. josh peck's career peaked with drake and josh, and that's fine. that's not important, but just sets the ground level for acting expectations. when coupled with ben kingsley you figure that they'll somehow reach a basic level of quality. unfortunately kingsley's new york accent attempts are so unbelievable and vary between takes, it just kills it. speaking of accents, method man, wow! the real nail in the coffin for me was the audio levelling. there is just no vocal clarity coming through making the entire movie fall flat, except for the music which comes through - not all of which is period precise due to slight remixing. [spoiler]started writing this before seeing the beach scene just now, that was pretty funny.[/spoiler]

There was literally nothing happening in this movie. None of the characters had any motivations to do anything, yet sit around and have pointless conversations about nothing of consequence.
