Mattress salesman, Brian Weathersby (PAUL DANO) gets swept up in a romance with the lovely but misguided Harriet Lolly (ZOOEY DESCHANEL) when she comes in to his store one day and falls asleep on one of the beds. To win her over, he must compete with her bear of a father, Al Lolly, (JOHN GOODMAN) an art-collecting loudmouth with a bad back and deep pockets. (official distributor synopsis)

Honestly, some of the thought processes of the movie's creators just went over my head. What's interesting, though, is that I didn't zone out. I actually had a decent time with this oddity, but if someone asked me why, I couldn't tell you. It's a mystery even to me. I guess, besides the cast, the film's vibe resonated with me – it was consistently peculiar and, at times, downright bizarre. Either way, two questions surfaced, and nobody provided any answers. Here they are. Why would a single, 28-year-old, white heterosexual guy seek to adopt a Chinese girl? And what's the deal with that aggressive homeless guy? A guy like me could use some explanations. / Lesson learned: The woods are full of danger: foxes, wolves, bears, drunk gamekeepers, ticks, and sober gamekeepers.
