Defining Moments

So cliche filled, so superficial, so badly executed. Wow this sucks. I am sure the cast and director thought the dialog was clever and witty. It simply tries too hard. It does it achieve anything, except to annoy you and remind you of how many times the writers should have been fired. Done better a million times before.

I'm giving this a 10 to counteract the negative ratings - what kind of people post such rubbish reviews.

This isn't a laugh-out-loud comedy, or action comedy with CGI. It's a subtle movie about family, relationships and the normal ups and downs of every day life and the people we encounter along the way and how they affect out own lives. Each character has a story arc and the last section "the Epilogue" is very touching, particularly in the light of Burt Reynolds' performance as he is no longer with us. I have no idea if he knew it was his last nor how ill he was, but it was a fitting send-off.

Movies don't always have to be packed with action/gore/sex/loud comedy from start to end - a bit of reflection is good for the soul. It also had a fair amount of humour which made me smile.

I enjoyed it.

This film is a collection of clips of different storylines. There are ten chapters. The first chapter is moderately interesting, but the second chapter is already not very engaging. The film hours steadily downhill from then. The clips look jumbled up, lacking coherence. The characters don't make you care about them either. The jokes are not funny.

Burt Reynolds. What a legend. Sad this was his last film, but at least he ended with a good one. The film touches on a lot of heavy topics, many of which are relatable/we all end up going through at some point in our lives. Well worth the watch.

I enjoyed this movie and all the different life situations, emotions and laughter and love.
