Zusammenfassung
Reviewers say 'Don't Make Me Go' is a heartfelt road trip drama focusing on family, love, and mortality. The film is lauded for its emotional story, strong performances by John Cho and Mia Isaac, and realistic character portrayals. However, it faces criticism for its ending, which some find surprising yet disappointing or implausible. The handling of sensitive themes and the depiction of flawed characters are appreciated, though opinions on certain scenes and pacing are mixed.

I'm a father of two. A 14 year old son and a 6 year old daughter who thinks she's 26 lol. I had a brain tumor when I was 25 and had to think about how my family would make it, if I didn't survive the operation.
I cant imagine being a single parent without grand parents, or an uncle to support my children.
This movie touched me. It made me feel that I'm not alone in the feelings I have for my children. Parents want to care for their kids, even if we don't know the absolute best way how.
I think it was well written, the road trip scenes were beautiful, the message was great. I loved it. We ate all doing the best we can. Hopefully, for the greater good for our children.

Frankly speaking, I only decided to give it a chance because Mia Isaac was in it. I have recently seen her perform in 'Not Okay' and I was thoroughly impressed, for a novice, she did incredibly well and rightfully snatched all the headlines.
Thereupon all I wanted to do is to find out whether her outstanding act in 'Not Okay' was just a fluke or was it the commencement of a promising career. And after witnessing her perform in two films one after the other; I can safely say, that she is indeed a special talent. One, who would surely flourish if given proper guidance and finer scripts and directors to work with.
Coming back to the film, it's like any other road trip movie you have previously encountered. It is fraught with fun, light-hearted moments, a great lead pair dynamic, and above all, a story that is neither too fancy nor too deep but it would reverberate with a lot of people out there. It will make them introspect, and will encourage them to self-evaluate!
I have my complaints though, regarding how this story concludes itself. Man! That ending surprised me, I did not see it coming, and I am having difficulties fathoming this. Yes, it's a bit unconventional, and has a sentimental value to it, that I understand and appreciate, yet, to me, it all felt too abrupt, too mundane for my taste.

Watching this just sad and sad keep going but end up some happy ending I assume. That's quite a real life situation that so many things are unpredicted and we can't control. The message of this drama is quite clear - Live at the moment and hold tight for your loved ones. U never know what will happen tomorrow. The acting skills of both father and daughter are quite good. For a teen actress, I can see her potential and hope more chance to see her act in the future. The planning not go to the way it suppose to make me impress about this movie, thought it would be some chicle ending but surprise at the end. Writer did a good job.
The story itself was amazing, the relation between father and daughter, the things he tried to do for her, the way she de with things in her life, but in my opinion there was no need for the nude scene in the beginning of the movie. It could be a good family movie.
The hook was Cho, the anchor was the immediate full frontal male nudity in the cold open. And it only got better from there.
It would be hard to pinpoint a scene in this drama that doesn't confirm that the two leads truly feel like Father and Daughter. And because of that, plus the rest of the script, the last act is truly emotional.
John Cho plays Mia Isaac's single father and unbeknownst to her, he's dying of a tumor. Yes, it *is* a tumah. This dad has the entire weight of the world on his shoulders from both that secret, and a TON of other stuff. (You will see it in Cho's fantastic acting.) So, he feels it's finally time for a road trip so she can meet her mom who left her very young.
This movie feels very real, all actors give their best, the movie looks great and it certainly gets progressively better through to the end. It's also a tad funny, but not unrealistically funny - every day humor we all experience.
I wouldn't call it perfect as most chaotic misadventures the daughter gets the duo into is almost resolved as fast as its introduced and it could be a melodrama at times. But what really saved the movie was that climax. There were signs leading up to it and yet, I still didn't see it coming.
Highly recommended. I would say even more so for people with children, single parents or not.

Final Thoughts: Not afraid to admit, that closing REALLY got to me emotionally. And I don't even have kids.

- WissenswertesNew Zealand only allows left-hand drive cars if they are old; this is why Max drives such an old vehicle, since the film is set in the United States.
- PatzerThe scene when Wally runs from the hotel and takes the Grand Wagoneer was supposed to be set in Florida. However, Florida does not have mountains and Interstate 10 is in the Panhandle, which is over two hundred miles north of Tampa.
