Dog Years

Burt was my hero growing up for many of the reasons why many other guys liked him: his charisma, charm, smarmy attitude, rogue behavior and wit. He had qualities that so many stars lack. In his most personal role ever he recounts the pivotal cornerstones of his life, the good times. the bad times and the success which also destroyed much of what he cherished. The most touching part comes at the end where he addresses the audience at his award ceremony with painful honesty and humility. It's definitely a humanistic picture where we see a former icon come to terms with himself. Worth a look.

Burt Reynolds plays a version of himself (he even interacts with his old movies) and the film delivers not only huge laughs but also has an emotional center that at times make you hate then love the main character in the span of a few seconds.

In this film an older actor is invited to a film festival to pick up his life achievement award. This prompts him to do some serious soul searching. Along the way he realizes how lucky he was and most of see the errors of his life.

Well worth seeing.

This smartly written, emotional rollercoaster masterpiece by Adam Rifkin showcases Burt Reynolds acting at his best. Burt's genuine vulnerability and charisma pops off the screen and into your heart. You cannot help but love the movie and Burt. It's incredible!

This is a memorable performance by a versatile, veteran actor, made all the more poignant by a role that often echoes his real-life movie star career. Beautifully written and brilliantly edited and choreographed, interspersed with Reynolds variously and hilariously playing alongside his younger self in clips from earlier films, this is a sweet and fitting addition to his already impressive legacy. It's one he can certainly be proud of, and worthy of recognition come awards season.

Given the difficulties and constraints of completing a project like this, I was pleasantly surprised. Solid performances by all, both legendary and fresh talent. A few scenes struggled, but in general an enjoyable romp down memory lane for Vic Edwards the character and Burt Reynolds the actor.
