The Angriest Man in Brooklyn

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.

The Angriest Man In Brooklyn isn't the most perfect film. A slight copycat on the amazing Stranger Than Fiction, but not as gripping or funny!

That said, considering what the late great Robin Williams goes through as his character, one can only watch in sadness and with tear-filled eyes in thinking that his passionately delivered dialogue really came from the heart as a cry for help.

It is only with this unfortunate event, that you watch TAMIB with a completely different view.

As a film, it passes the time and makes you think about life. It has entertaining moments, some laughs and some great performances. Its simple and worth a watch.

We miss you Robin Williams.

The story is a simple one, which can make people look at themselves. The acting was great for the most part, however there were points where it feels the comedy is being forced and feels a little off the mark. Don't let that put you off this emotional, funny and simplistic story

An angry man (you will find out why) finds out he is dying. Robin Williams gives a rounded performance full of drama and humor. Mila Kunis plays his doctor who tries to get him to hospital. There is a journey around Brooklyn as the angry man tries to settle things with his family. It'squite touching and the humor comes unexpectedly. The performances are all good. Mila is endearing as the overwhelmed doctor.

There are some laugh out loud moments especially with James Earl Jones.

Ignore the bad reviews and that it had to go to Video on Demand quickly. This is a funny unusual dark and surprisingly meaningful comedy plus it's one of Robin William's last movies.

This film was one of robins last film and had some similarities to his real life battling with illness. This was a more serous role for him but not one of his best.
