Rolling Stone's Peter Travers (a critic whose opinions I tend to agree with) gave it three out of four stars, basically saying it's a pretty good movie. He added that audiences who are able to separate Mel's acting from his personal life will be well-rewarded by this film.

I predicted some time ago that it would be the lowest grossing film of Gibson's career. Now I'm curious.

" As Walter fails even at suicide, he is rescued by a gruff, dominating, stuffed beaver. This creature looks like a puppet on Walter's hand, but to Walter he is perfectly real and embodies his salvation. However, what seems like salvation becomes its own form of enslavement. "

So, someone help me out. I'm sure there's a metaphor that's obvious but it's not obvious enough for me.

What's it about? (That way I don't have to go see it.) :)

Re the original “Leave it to Beaver”:

Dave Barry once speculated on what it must have done to a boy’s emotional stability to be known from childhood on as “the beaver”.

Think about it.
