Lo Mejor Que Puedas

"The Best You Can" is a lovely, low-key drama that hits you right in the heart, making it perfect for anyone who's ever felt like they needed a fresh start. It stars Kevin Bacon as Sam, a guy wrestling with life's big questions after a personal setback-maybe a career stall or a tough family moment. He's not chasing movie villains; he's just trying to figure out how to be happy again.

The magic here is in the quiet moments, especially those shared with Kyra Sedgwick, whose character provides the much-needed grounding and sometimes, the necessary friction. Their dynamic is the real treat, showing that even after decades, relationships are constantly changing and require effort. It's totally relatable-no one in this film acts like a movie star; they act like your neighbors trying to get by.

The director keeps things simple, letting the wonderful script and the stellar performances do all the work. It's a powerful reminder that "success" isn't about grand achievements, but about showing up and doing your best every single day. If you're looking for a dose of hope and a reminder of why we love watching great actors work together, grab some popcorn for "The Best You Can." It's an easy, rewarding watch that leaves you feeling good.

I had the pleasure of seeing this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival. It was the most heartfelt, real, funny, sensitive film that reminds us all what it means to be human - flawed, hopeful, and searching for connection.

Watching Kevin and Kyra together on screen for the first time in 20 years was a sheer pleasure! Their real life chemistry just adds emotional depth and realism to the already amazing script.

My husband and I both related to different characters for different reasons but we both laughed and cried and came away with powerful reminder that everyone is just doing their best, even when it doesn't look perfect.

The Best You Can (2025) is a light and pleasant film that delivers some charming and humorous moments, but it never reaches a truly high level of quality. It's the kind of movie you can enjoy casually, yet it doesn't leave a strong impression.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick bring natural warmth and fun to the screen. Their chemistry is still enjoyable, and they add a sense of playfulness to the film. However, the signs of age are clear on both actors, and the movie doesn't give them strong enough material to fully showcase their talent. They are likable, but the script around them feels weak.

The story is simple and predictable, with safe emotional moments and no real surprises. Everything moves smoothly but without depth. The direction and visuals are adequate but not memorable.

Overall, The Best You Can is cute and entertaining, but it doesn't rise to the level expected from its stars and remains a modest, forgettable experience.

Was recommended this movie fortunately. Need a movie that makes you feel good? That gives you credit for trying? That permits you your own humanity and encourages you to go on regardless? Watch this movie and you won't regret it.

I love how the two main characters connect...and listened to each other enough to use the Mr. Wizard reference. We need more movies like this. Normal people giving each other strength and encouragement and support. If you need a humanity pick me up, and God knows, we all do, give this movie a gander. An enthusiastic thumbs up from me.

This movie was really good. The writing and screenplay were top notch. The story never dragged. It was funny, gut wrenching and very relatable to every day life. The Director did a great job putting together a talented cast.

The chemistry between Kevin Bacon and his real life wife Kyra Sedgwick is truly magical. I'm a huge fan of them both. They played off of each other with style and grace.

Kevin's daughter in the movie was played by Brittany O'Grady. She is a truly gifted actress and singer. This actress is destined for great things in her future.

Judd Hirsch acting chops have not missed a beat. He plays the part of Kyra's elderly husband with dimentia and he does it flawlessly and grace.

Watching this on Thanksgiving with my wife made ne truly thankful for movies, Kevin Bacon, our health, and our happiness.

Please watch this movie. Give it a chance. Ten stars, because I couldn't give it eleven.
