Dave C I'd somehow forgotten how compassionate and gentle this movie is at its heart, instead remembering the ribbing, jokes, and jibes between the three main characters as some of the key parts of the movie. Whilst they are significant, their reason for being is to cement the relationships between the characters and allow the contrasts between them to feel more real and empathic... and to bring levity and added warmth to a serious tale. The story itself is a sad one, but the movie doesn't feel melancholic. It asks significant questions, promotes comparison, brings forth smiles and laughter, and also pokes at the tear ducts. In some ways, I think this has grown more poignant and significant with time. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Chris K Pretty good movie. Really did expect a little more from it. I did like the pace and tone. Did well to make you see and feel where each character was coming from. Some things we left still unexplained, yet I don't know that they needed to and maybe that was intentional. Biggest knock, Brian Cranston's accent seemed a little forced, but his portrayal of the alcoholic veteran in denial with something heavy in his heart was spot on. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Patrick F I expected more of this film considering its 3 big stars. I was underwhelmed. The film at times was confused if it wanted to be a comedy or a drama. The film took to long to get the characters to their emotional endings. A little too much "now they are bickering again" and "now they are telling old war stories again" that just delayed the plot. The last act was touching, but still cringe at moments in its execution. Despite this, the performances were good and the ending pulled at the heartstrings. Overall, an okay film. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Clive C A touching, superbly acted character study with some subtly delivered truths but also some sharp, achingly funny lines – particularly from Bryan Cranston's character. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Rowan C I watched this movie last night, the cast is great, really good chemistry between the 3 main characters. The story itself is great as well as the acting and script however I think the music attached to the movie is below par and is only thing that let's the movie down. Would definitely recommend. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Luke W How did I never hear about this movie? It is an instant classic for me. I laughed, I cried, I loved the character development. Featured some of my favorite actors who were very convincing in their roles. This movie was thick with explorations of personal values and life lessons: growing up, consequences of life choices, aspects of emotional maturity, and an examination of different people making different decisions based on their differing personalities and backgrounds. Furthermore, the characters demonstrated how we can learn to respect others' perspectives, as difficult as that can be sometimes, and still show love to each-other.
