Mar 22, 2014 The two critics here are off the mark. Spooner is a delightful and sensitive film with some very funny moments thanks to the supporting cast. See more Feb 2, 2014 Very cliched but I found it had a few good moments. Christopher McDonald seems to play the same role in every movie I have seen him in. See more Aug 19, 2013 This quirky indie rom-com is poorly cast, poorly directed, and poorly executed all around. See more Apr 27, 2013 72% I liked seeing Lillard and McDonald play father and son again. See more Sep 27, 2012 did care 4 this which just loves 2 revel in it's own quirkiness See more Sep 15, 2012 Matthew Lillard performance as as a goofy nerd going nowhere is spot on.
