Dull as dirt

""Younger and Younger" is a bizarre and irksome movie.
Jonathan Younger appears to be a successful businessman, but actually depends on his unappreciated wife, Penny, to do all the work. Jonathan manages to get around, and one day when Penny hears him having an affair, she dies on the office floor (sounds highly improbable to me). Jonathan is apathetic at first, but starts seeing the ghost of his wife everywhere he looks.
Meanwhile, Jonathan's son, Winston, comes home from Europe to help keep up the company. Winston is swamped by his new duties, and receives no help whatsoever from his daydreaming father.
Somewhere along the way, Winston gains a foreign girlfriend and Jonathan and Penny are finally united forever.
The plot is utterly ridiculous, and the director does not bother to explain several peculiar moments. This movie is ultimately boresome, and its only positive element is Brendan Fraser."
