This film was on both Richard Roeper's Top 10 of 2003 and on the IMDB Top 250 up until 2005. It is a film about phase of a little person's life. Finbar (played by Peter Dinklage, Elf & The Chronicles of Narnia) is a train enthusiast who repairs model trains alongside his friend Henry.When Henry dies he wills him a train depot in Newfoundland and Finbar decides to retire early and move. The majority of the story is about the relationships he builds with Joe (Bobby Cannavale) and Olivia (Patricia Clarkson).
I was really into this film for the first 45 minutes. It was very interesting to watch these characters interact and see how Finbar cooped with his new home. However, what started out as an 8/10 or 9/10 quickly dropped to a 7/10 as it gets a little boring at the end, and honestly didn't wrap up the plot as much as I wanted. Which was also disappointing because it was only an hour and a half film.
Don't get me wrong this was a good movie. Something that if you desired to see I would encourage, but I would not openly suggest this as a great comedy to watch. It was barely a comedy and leaned toward biography or drama most of the time. Don't expect to get a lot of laughs from this film.
Vote: 7/10
