The film comes back down to a
place more in line with the otherwise earnest tone and performances, but in so doing it also settles back into tidy predictability, not to mention
convenient contrivance,
particularly in the resolution of a lingering quasi-feud between George and uptight neighbor David (Sam Robards).
In fact, a large portion live in
places like the rest of the US, where everything is really far about and walking isn't
particularly convenient.
