This movie was kinda dumb. Had no great message and pretty much no likeable characters

It was something different, if you are fed up with the same old, the same old storylines keep repeating in all the Hollywood films. That made me keep watching it. Never was boring, but definitely should have been better in the overall story section. Because it looks more a cinematic than the real. Especially Owen Wilson character. Only fools let him near them as whatever happened in the film. But that's quite perfected since Zach's role was close to one.This is about two friends, one works in a new channel and the other one a hippie. When one of their rich father dies, they return to the hometown, that's going to change their fortune forever. But within siblings, a conflict arises and in the following events told how everything unfolds. I liked the cast. It was a wonderful combination. It was a comedy, though not a hard hitting one, neither a message film. Just a timepass film. For once watching, it is not a bad at all.6/10

Thing is, this is not comedy, definitely not a classic romance story. The message it delivers is a hint of a more deep line. The false reality of things we are teach to want... Sure the story has a couple problems whit internal integrity and coherence, but the characters feel real !! real people... not some cartoon sister craving for the gold or a "hippie" against the system. Its truly remarkable the work the actors did to (at least in my case)make me forget it was a Hollywood movie. And i believe that the same thing i found so amazing is why is underrated. Its really not commercial. Most of todays indie films are gross commercials productions (all comedies sure are), the only thing that changes is the public, a more refined public or a less one. Doesn't matter... Profit does. "Are you here" doesn't try to be more that what it is.. and that is refreshingP.S The physical change of Galifianakis is comparable to that of Christian Bale in "the machinist"

I was expecting this to be funnier than what was delivered. Granted, other folks may have found it very comical, but I'm a harder sell. I'm a big fan of all the leading cast members and although they each did a good job acting, the story itself fell a little short in my humble opinion. I feel the profanity could have been omitted in most cases and probably should have been. This would have made the show more family friendly and could have broadened the audience base. Most of the time the omission of profanity makes things even funnier. The overall innocence of circumstances present a more comical scenario for the audience to enjoy. I hope the film makers keep this in mind for future projects. After about the first 30 or so minutes, I started to lose interest because again, the story simply was too predictable and fell short. A shame since the A-list actors involved deserved a better script. Maybe the writing should be left up to them next time. Just a thought.
