Now what you think might happen is some rip roarin comedy moments.No Not needed Just both climbing back in their lives.I loved it a bit mushy but not to the point that it becomes a total girly date movie. Very down to earth and refreshing family stuf and unless you're a hardened criminal you will like this movie which i thought was filled with warm vibes on what really matters in life. Liotta was entertaining as were the other cast members.

Down to earth ..warm vibes.
"Comeback Season" is a pretty good comedy/drama.
"Comeback Season" is a pretty good comedy/drama.
Walter Pearce (Liotta) had it all: His beautiful wife Debra (Headly) and a great job. Until he confesses to her that he had an affair. She throws him out and he has to live with his neighbor Skylar (Shaun Sipos) a former high school football star. Now they have to get their lives back.
The biggest reason to see this is for Liotta's performance. He is excellent. He brings a perfect balance of humor and drama to it. The scenes when he has to confess and apologize are very well-acted. Headly and Sipos also put in good performances. The ending is a little sappy but it works. The only problem with the movie is the occasional audio drop-outs in some scenes. It looks like they edited something by muting some of the dialogue. It's distracting.
But overall, "Comeback Season" is worth-watching.

It would have been perfect without the happy ending
In this feels-like-a-TV-movie opus, Ray Liotta plays a father of two daughters who admits to his wife that he has had an extramarital affair. The wife instantly turns into a money-grubbing castrating harpy and his daughters conspire to humiliate their father and turn him into a hobo by grabbing as much money as they can for the eldest daughter's Bridezilla-type wedding. In the process, the father turns to a neighbour kid who has lost a promising football career to a knee injury for advice and comfort. He quits his job and begins a process of introspection which is highly believable. The only part that stretches credibility after such an unflinching look at American matriarchy/vaginocracy in action is the happy ending where the husband comes back to a miraculously humanized and forgiving wifey. The film would have had much more import if the husband had started a homosexual affair with the football star and moved to Alaska away from those egotistical and superficial bitches. Ray Liotta gives an exemplary performance in a kind of comeback role that could rescue him from the sadistic parts he has been cast in ever since "Reservoir Dogs".
