...various sequences, we have the privilege of seeing Joey leer at girls nearly as young as his daughter, set himself up for some solo sex on the couch (across America, women will turn away from their moisturizer, shuddering at the memory) and all but demand some extended bodywork from a hapless masseuse. It's gruesome. Undeniably, Favreau brings conviction to the part, but he wrote himself into a hole. Our idea of a happy ending might entail Joey being devoured by sharks somewhere east of Eden.
