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.

Great movie. Loved it. Not sure why it got such a low rating on RT. Good thing I didn't check the rating before watching, just went for it cause of Robin Williams. ✌️

I wished I liked this since I love Robin Williams and Mila Kunis. Unfortunately, seeing their characters so angry didn't connect, most likely because it's Robin Williams and Mila Kunis, 2 actors I love seeing in heartfelt roles. Filmmaking a bit messy. Not one I would recommend, unless you want to see RW in a role later in his career. RIP Robin Williams.

"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.

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.

The Angriest Man in Brooklyn is like a brilliant clown stumbling off stage accompanied by a kazoo.
