Brian Cox stars as Jacques, the curmudgeonly owner of a gritty New York dive bar that serves as home to a motley assortment of professional drinkers. Jacques is determinedly drinking and smoking himself to death when he meets Lucas (Paul Dano), a homeless young man who has already given up on life. Determined to keep his legacy alive, Jacques deems Lucas is a fitting heir and takes him under his wing, schooling him in the male-centric laws of his alcoholic clubhouse: no new customers, no fraternizing with customers, and absolutely no women. Lucas is a quick study, but their friendship is put to the test when the distraught and beautiful April (Isild Le Besco) shows up at the bar seeking shelter, and Lucas insists they help her out.

The whole pleasant and vigorous quack remedy narrative of the unlikely friendship of two deranged men is ruined by the predictable motif of symbolic debt that predestines the outcome of the film from the outset. Unfortunately, Kári is not Trier, and he does not keep his emotions in check. In the end, the film gets out of hand into an unlikely fairy tale that it hasn't been all along. Too bad. Maybe the Icelander was able to handle it in Grown-up People, but he lacks perspective here. But I give it than better than good score for the decent majority of the film.
