Fathers and Sons

'Fathers and Sons' is actually about only one father -- Max Fish (Jeff Goldblum), a former bad-boy movie director now living in mock-modest circumstances on the Jersey Shore -- and one son (Rory Cochrane). Beyond that, it is in no way succinct. As written and directed by Paul Mones, this is the torpid, myopic story of two brooding loners in a cute setting, to which the film pays unhelpfully rapt attention. 'Things change; things remain the same,' says the teen-age son, Ed, as the camera lingers lovingly on a bleak shot of the beach.
