A family living in a house in Las Vegas learns that a fortune is buried beneath it, and everybody goes to crazy lengths to locate it.

Nick Schager

Slant Magazine

The film's scenario unavoidably devolves into a treatise that, though timely, feels a tad too on the nose.

Rated: 2.5/4

The film is not exciting enough, funny, a scavenger hunt, repetitive, and it came to nothing.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Buried deep in this film is the nugget of a possibly brilliant, unwritten Raymond Carver story. Unfortunately, this is not a Raymond Carver story, and none of the people involved were Raymond Carver.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
