Ted Danson is too famous for his role


While watching it, one can't forget that one is watching famous TV star Ted Danson. It detracts from getting engrossed in the story, especially due to the fact that he speaks with his normal, accent-free American voice. They should have hired a lesser-known actor to play the part.

Having grown up watching Ted Danson on "Cheers" throughout the 80s and 90s, I can tell he's not using his normal voice in this production. It's not really an English accent either, so I'm not sure who did his vocal coaching.

For me living in Russia American TV is an obscure thing so this movie was like the only thing I saw Denson in and he is just brilliant.

Yes, because none of the other actors are well-known at all!!!
