Defining Moments

This movie isnt funny. It's really poorly written. It has the vibe of a Lifetime TV movie more than anyting else.

The charaters are thinly drawn and the acting is sub par.

The directing does not make for a compelling screening.

And then there is Burt. His last movie. Not sure what happened to his face or his voice, but thankfully he's barely in the film. It's an abomination and I'm sure he did it for the money because he had to know it was garbage.

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.

This is a terrific film. Great performances. Great writing. A perfect film for Burt to finish on.

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.

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.
