Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

joshlanewellness Robin Williams in the park and then Robin Williams as an angry man 25 years later looking exactly the same. A dud of an opening which than continues with mild THAT GIRL situations that are so unfunny and Hallmark TV movies of an earlier era that it is embarrassing that Robin Williams who had been involved with some excellent movies would be in a movie as weakly written with a director who is given over to showing us the most mild well used TV movie situations.

Kirpianuscus the best thing - the cast. a film who presents together Robin Williams,James Earl Jones, Peter Dinklage represents a real temptation.Mila Kunis search to give a decent character. the worst thing - the cast. because good actors seem be enough. the script becomes only a detail. far to be a bad film, it is an embroidery of well known clichés. dramatic, seductive in few moments. but not real convincing. a film about solitude, self introspection, cruel verdict and hope. about family and the challenges who transforms the life. bitter. and supported by the memories about Robin Williams. or by the fears, angry, need to escape from yourself who defines the existences of a large slice of public. one of films who seems have not real clear purpose. but comfortable as remember for a great actor who gives an ordinary gray character.

Peter Pluymers "My uncle died of one. One minute he was brushing his teeth, the next, he was dead. Didn't even have time to rinse."Robin Williams was and remains for me a legendary actor. When I was young I watched "Mork and Mindy" and was always looking forward to witness the hyper-kinetic way of acting that this star in the making showed on the screen. When I heard the news about his death, I was speechless. The days after this sad news, masterpieces such as "Good Morning, Vietnam", "Dead Poets Society", "Good Will Hunting" and my favorite "Patch Adams" were broad-casted as a tribute. But I deliberately didn't watch them. In the same way I couldn't induce myself to watch "The angriest man in Brooklyn". Today I felt the time was right to finally see this great actor at work again. It's a typical Robin Williams movie, although his dead made me look at this movie in a different way and it felt as if it got a whole different meaning. A film about loneliness, resentment, anger, death and suicide. It was quite morbid at times. I was wondering if he was preparing his fatal ending here already mentally."The angriest man in Brooklyn" certainly isn't one of Williams's greatest films, but the role as Henry Altman was cut out for him. A sullen older guy who has a full-time job as a disgruntled citizen and making a fuss about everything and nothing. A cynical pessimist who loses his patience very quickly and immediately becomes abusive full of rage. Henry used to be a loving husband and father, but a tragic event turned him into a bitter man. The day he mistakenly hears that he has only 90 minutes to live, told by Dr. Sharon Gill (Mila Kunis) who's coping with some personal issues herself, he starts a mission to fix what has gone wrong in his life and tries to smooth out the rough edges. And that's the start of a chaotic chase and search for Henry with some comical situations and emotional moments.Unfortunately, the humorous scenes were rather scarce. Besides the hilarious fragments with the stuttering salesman James Earl Jones, the collision with the Uzbek taxi driver and to a lesser extent the conversation with Richard King during a reunion, there's not much to laugh about in this tragicomedy. In my opinion this is because of the heavy theme that actually forms the common thread throughout this story. Williams also had difficulties with this. The way the outbursts of anger turn up, didn't look like well-timed and natural. It seemed as if he meticulously followed the script and then suddenly realized that it was time for a tantrum.Kunis also wasn't spared some clichéd personal characteristics. Although it's her merit that she did a fine job next to the grand master himself and I liked her much better than in "Jupiter Ascending" (although that wasn't so hard to realize). Peter Dinklage, Melissa Leo and Hamish Linklater played the roles of respectively Henry's brother, wife and son. They all show the same pattern of behavior. First they all have nothing good to say about their related family member and afterwards they're running their butt off to pick up the pieces again. Not very original. When I think of the phenomenon Williams, I definitely won't associate this film with him. To me it looked suspiciously a lot like "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas, but this is the semi-humorous version. Kind of sad that his career didn't end with a blast of a movie.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

pmustangpilot I don't understand why this film only grossed 500k and practically went straight to video. I also wonder if the under appreciation for Robin's performance didn't contribute to his depression and ultimately his untimely demise. One trait of a movie that I would rate a 3.5 out of ten like this one averaged is poor acting and no suspension of disbelief. Other traits might be: Unbelievable unsympathetic characters, poor plot, shoddy filming, lousy music score. This film had none of these characteristics. Robin's acting was superb, as was that of his attractive co-star. Both characters were perfectly believable and affable (if flawed). Their eccentric behavior is based on understandable life events in their past. Despite the dark topic of the movie, it still manages to raise a variety of emotions including laughter, insight, relief, joy, thoughtfulness, love, reflection and many more. I guess for a film to have any appeal to the Hollywood crowd or insightful "critics" these days it has to be written for teenagers or by (yawn) Woody Allen. The rest, no matter how endearing or how many redeeming qualities they have, wind up in the straight to video dumpster. Anyway, if it isn't apparent, this is a worthwhile movie I recommend, even though the car crashes and special effects are limited in number. Robin Williams could be proud of his performance despite the horrible reception and reviews the movie received.
