"The Angriest Man in Brooklyn" doesn't seem to know what chord to strike: it veers wildly from madcap farce to social satire to sentimental family drama.

Variety

A schmaltz opera that indulges Robin Williams' most melancholy tics and themes.

The film never quite manages to figure out what it's actually about.

The Angriest Man in Brooklyn isn’t the worst film I’ve seen all year but it’s certainly a disappointment.

With a running time of about 80 minutes, this treatment still feels padded with moments that feel utterly useless because they're not fully developed or simply used as a matter of convenience.

Rated: 1/5

The Angriest Man in Brooklyn is surprising, but for all the wrong reasons.

I really dont understand why this movie got rated so bad. I guess because it is about dying sooner than we hope, which is a disturbing thought. I just watched it and had many moments where I laughed, and many moments full of emotion, too. Do yourself a favor and watch it, not with high expectations, but knowing that the rating it received is surely not fair.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have watched this movie 2x, and both I have cried. I feel viewers misunderstood this movie for what it really is to me. We are all use to Robin portraying a comedian or a calm character with words of wisdom. However, this film has me to believe his feelings and anger were true. He may have played a character who believed to be ill and die due to this aneurysm. Yet knowing he suffered from depression truly shows in this film. The scene where he records himself, he blurts out his anger and how the world is, leading him to be filled with anger and disappointment. What is more saddening is he died months after this film was released. Yes, the man was a phenomenal actor, but this one felt personal. It deserves more respect!

Not the greatest film but not the worst if you enjoy the gifted actor in his last film. Bit better budget and angled the gags better from the directors would of helped . Give it a go it’s a easy watch

Not a great movie for sure but at least Robin Williams played it out, even if it's sad this was the last role released in his lifetime and Mila Kunis is charming as usual (even if her character wasn't in the first half, at least).

Not sure why this has such a negative rating It's not terrible, just a collection of Euro movie clichés adapted for NYC. Robin Williams was great in those smaller movies.
