Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

d.rust Formulaic crapfest with a premise that borders on pedophilia has a cranky Freeman drink his way into the hearts of a family. This film makes a brain dead fanbase breathlessly approve of libtard Meathead Reiner's phoned-in direction.Change the soundtrack just slightly from "happy-happy" to "creepy-scary" and you'll have a different movie.In what Universe does a crippled black man who is cranky and drinks, befriend a white-bread single mom's entire family of girls?This would have been better as a horror story: Creepy old man befriends innocent children

Stephen Cupido Hmmmm... The film intrigues and presents (in the first 10 minutes) as a feel good movie that explores one mans struggle with the bottle and the reigniting of his passion. However, it has reconfirmed the idea that struggling writers can only write about.... ...other struggling writers 🙄. There's a lack of depth in the "soul-searching" storytelling that has undertones of love and is smeared in alcoholism. This film is written with flimsy and unrealistic interaction between characters and seeks to over compensate with an overbearing use of poetic linguistics. And what can one do when alphabet soup provides a better read than an "unimaginative" script? Find someone who can read you the phone book and make it sound beautiful; enter Morgan Freeman.The actors seem uptight as I think they knew what I know now- and that is this movie is a waste of time. 2 stars.

forster-80382 WowDoes anyone here who considers themselves a critic ever bother to turn off their brain and just watch a movie for the content and story.Perhaps I am wrong but I do not watch a movie to criticize the content I watch a movie for enjoyment and relaxationThe story may be contrite and maudlin but try turning that arrogant piece of goo off for awhile and just enjoy a storyI wish to also inform you that your opinions are rather worthless as it is an individual adventure that you try and ruinAs good old dad used to say the world is full of horses but there seem to be more horses asses than horses

Mike B This movie became so predictable. The script is lame and the acting stilted. If it weren't for Morgan Freeman's delivery and acting skills this would have sunk way down to the bottom. Perhaps his interaction with the girl (Emma Fuhrmann) is the only worthwhile bit of acting – and even then. It struck me that this was a movie for 10 year olds. Really not a whole lot going on with the same old clichés – crotchety drunken author becomes rehabilitated with the daughters of beautiful, enticing divorcée next door – and he befriends a dog. The conflicts – such as they are (between mother and daughters) – are totally uninspired. It's a film you can walk away from to nibble at potato chips or dessert and come back to without missing a beat. I was expecting better considering the IMDb rating.
