IMDB only shows that this is his 2nd (the other coming for "A Beautiful Mind").

Probably won't ever know, since I have almost no desire to see it.

The only thing that gives me pause is that Ron Howard directed it. But then, I've generally enjoyed his historical dramas (Apollo 13, Cinderella Man).

See, my reaction is the opposite. That RH directed steers me away from it.

I see the possibility of F/N being great like Glengarry Glen Ross was great. Like a great play, done well for the big screen. About the dialogue, the facial expressions, the tone.

I'm confused. Ron Howard gives me pause (i.e. if there's a movie I want to see, but Ron Howard directed it, that fact will make me stop to reconsider watching it).

On a side note, if you want to see something that's like a great play, done well for the big screen, that just happens to be about Richard Nixon, I highly recommend Robert Altman's "Secret Honor".

"Son of Rambow"
I enjoyed it. Kind of a charming British comedy with kids. Like "Be Kind Rewind" in subject matter and tone. It's not earth-shaking or really fantastic, but it is really creative and fun. At times it's hillarious. I'd recommend it to anyone.
