   Is Ben is back a good movie?

   • Ben is Back is Roberts's film. Hedges's central performance is one of expertly portrayed enigma. Ben Is Back could have been intense and universal in someone else's hands, but as is, it lacks confidence in how to get to its ending, resulting in unintentional hilarity. I'm not touched at all by this drama by director Peter Hedges.
