What the critics say about the writing are correct. However, the cast with a surprisingly, brave cameo by a beloved actor elevate the weak material into something watchable.

For people who want to watch it because it was Robin WilliamsWhat the critics say about the writing are correct. However, the cast with a surprisingly, brave cameo by a beloved actor elevate the weak material into something watchable.

For people who want to watch it because it was Robin Williams last movie released when he was alive, I would recommend waiting until some time has past. There are a couple of scenes that are too soon to watch and appreciate in the context of the movie.

Overall, I liked it. It wasn't great, but it has a good message. It's worth watching for the cast.… Expand

There's an interesting idea at it's core, but it's material ends up feeling too cheap and dull. Especially for the likes of Dinklage, Williams (R.I.P.), and even Kunis. It's their performances that keep the movie from totally feeling like itThere's an interesting idea at it's core, but it's material ends up feeling too cheap and dull. Especially for the likes of Dinklage, Williams (R.I.P.), and even Kunis. It's their performances that keep the movie from totally feeling like it should have been a straight to DVD release.

Part of the cheap feeling comes from how the camera always seems to be slightly shaking in the majority of the scenes. It also just looks like a movie with a low-budget. The only other problems with this drama-comedy is that it's not that strong in the drama or comedy. It's emotional moments fall short thanks to an all too familiar message that says "Hey, life is short so be happy and have no regrets." With Williams and Kunis focusing on the drama, the comedy falls to the rest of the cast. Outside of the criminally underused Dinklage a hilarious cameo from Louis C.K. there's not much funny going on here.

I wouldn't call it a bad movie, just a dull one that fails to elevate itself to the heights that other comedy-drama movies have obtained. It's watchable and in no way made me miserable, but I do feel like it is very weak when compared to it's competition. There's not enough humor, true emotion, or use for it's talented leads to make it particularly memorable. Instead it's just mediocre.… Expand

This movie has an alright plot which is watchable. It is listed as a comedy but it isn't really a comedic matter, though I did find the jokes funny. At times it can be boring but the acting makes the watcher want to keep watching. No whereThis movie has an alright plot which is watchable.

No where near one of robins best movies.… Expand
