The Matador (2005)
Cast: Pierce Brosnan (Julian Noble), Greg Kinnear (Danny Wright), Hope Davis (Carolyn 'Bean' Wright)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's The Matador page.
I definitely didn't expect much from The Matador and I'm glad we didn't see it in theatres, but I do think it was worth renting. Perhaps I enjoyed it because I wasn't expecting it to be very good, but The Matador was a lot funnier than I anticipated and the cast showed that they shine even in a movie that's got a pretty thin plot.
This dark comedy has a great cast that works really well together. I think I rented it mostly because I like the cast and that's a good enough reason for this movie. If you like dark comedies or the cast, it's worth your time to watch it.
