Movie Info

When Nicholas Sinclair flees from his latest personal disaster to take refuge in his parent's home, it looks like yet another train wreck for a 25 year-old who's never known anything but failure. But it won't be a soft landing. Viv and Al Sinclair have worked hard to buy their retirement home by the sea and they'll be damned if their fast-talking, freeloading son is going to ruin it for them. Viv resolves to get Nicholas out of the house and back on his feet, even if it destroys him.

  • While the acting's uniformly fine, the dialogue occasionally smart and funny, Whirligig feels too schematic with an ending too pat and tidy.

  • Director Thorne hasn't the slightest idea how to make any of this funny or meaningful.
