Premise of film - that cash strapped Robin Williams passes off body he's found in the garbage as his dead brother, to collect the insurance - is of course daft, but Collin Freisen's screenplay has interesting stuff going on, with Williams' sweet relationship with kooky Holly Hunter, insurance investigator Giovanni Ribisi and phone psychic girlfriend Alison Lohman, friendly kidnappers Tim Blake Nelson and W Earl Brown, and finally, the long-missing violent and unpleasant brother Woody Harrelson.
James Glennon (Alexander Payne's Election and About Schmidt ) catches the Alaskan scenery well; Julie Monroe (Mud ) cut it.
