I have heard about this movie, and have been intrigued about it for some time now but have been hesitant for one reason—O’Neal. Their personal lives have turned me off, but finally I gave into this Father-Daughter movie. Ryan O’Neal (Moze) plays a grifter who is scheming poor people out of the little amounts of money they have during the Depression. Along the way he hears that an old friend of his has passed away, and has left a nine year old daughter Addie (Tatum O’neal).
He takes on the task of driving her to her next of kin in Missouri, along the way continuing to grift. Addie begins to play along in the roles with Moze. They grow close together during these adventures across the heartland of America. In the end of the movie you get what you would expect out of a feel good movie.
Watch for Randy Quaid in one of his earliest movie roles.
Tatum and Ryan played well off of each other, but all-in-all the movie is very flat, only 2 stars. I am shocked that Tatum won an oscar for this roll. It felt like a poor persons Annie.
