Detached Baltimore man grieving for his murdered child grows more detached, gets abandoned by his iced-over wife, and moves back into his childhood home with his defeated adult siblings before taking up with a woman a class or two below his stratus. It's a comedy, really.

don't know the book; didn't much care for the movie.

I was a fan of the book and certain parts of it remain with me years after reading it. The movie was just ok.

Was this the movie where William Hurt mumbles a lot?

There are certain guys that have a role that's so career defining that either they continue to gravitate toward that character later in their careers, or the audience (or myself, anyhow), can't help but see that character filtering through their subsequent portrayals. I thought of this the other day when I watched The Accidental Tourist, how William Hurt in later films continued to squint puzzledly at other characters as if they were aliens from other worlds, mumbling confused responses in hurried attempts to disengage.

Decent, but not great.
