Great father and son bonding experience? Well, not if it's a Stephen King story. There are some great locations and production designs in this film. The plot starts well with a convincing inciting incident that promised a lot of potential that never gets fulfilled. The story kinda goes nowhere in the second half.

The first two hours are flawless: I rarely laughed so hard in a Theater, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, having no clue what was coming the scene after. Joaquin Phoenix is amazing as a clumsy, bald, anxious,…
