Defining Moments

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.

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

I am really sorry for the ones who found this movie bad or not engaging. It means they do not have any clue about love and life. So intimate and so human... If you feel yourself as one of the puppets of this material, capitalist world, please do not dare to watch!

IMBD gave this a 4.4 and others a zero but I disagree.

This is a movie about relationships, moving on, learning, and forgiving. If you're looking for Smokey and the Bandit, this isn't it. If you're looking for nonstop action, this isn't it. If you're looking for blood and guts horror, this isnt it.

This is a heart warming example of life and what it could be if we worked at it. Although there are some very funny moments it is not filled with nonstop physical humor.

The actors do a great job and for those liking movies about life's tender moments then this is worth a look. I personally enjoyed this movie and would recommend it.

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.
