Audience Member Dennis Hopper made a great Frank Sinatra (as if) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member good bio-pic of sorts Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An uninteresting if technically accomplished account of Frank Sinatra's controversial Australian tour in 1974. A stellar cast led by Dennis Hopper as Sinatra and heavy production design can't really save the day because it is too obvious an attempt to please audiences at the expense of comic subplots that aren't much fun at all. Can only seriously recommend this to Hopper fans but be warned he wasn't doing the singing either. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Frances H Not too bad, if you can get over Dennis Hopper's speaking voice and looks as Frank Sinatra. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/14 Full Review Audience Member All the Way, aka "The Night we called it a Day", is the kind of movie that crops up every now and again to embarrass the Australian film industry. In between making superb movies like Animal Kingdom and Snowtown, crap like this comes along. Masquerading as a comedy (game is up pretty quickly, as it's not funny), this is really just a platform for celebrity bashing, especially American celebrity-bashing. The typical, shameful tall poppy nonsense that occurs in Australia, mainly thanks to its lower-than-gutter media. Add in a pro-union stance, and the movie is basically just propaganda. Incredibly one-dimensional: the Australians are all loveable larrikins, the Americans (incl Sinatra) are all heartless high-and-mighty boofheads. Wonder how this movie went down in the US, or among Frank Sinatra fans (and I'm not one, by the way)? Dialogue is shockingly bad - almost every line is cringeworthy. Acting is equally pathetic. Joel Edgerton is lucky his career survived this. Dennis Hopper and Melanie Griffith must have REALLY needed the money. The only positive thing about the movie is the performance of Rose Byrne. She rose above the woeful plot and direction and delivered the only convincing performance of the movie.
