A Free Bird

The acting was good. The main character and his "friend" Jimmy were very good. Also, shot well, clean set-ups and motivations. Maybe a bit repetitive, but it did not stop it from being entertaining. I liked the simple story, it allowed for character development and for comic situations with out getting complicated. I saw it on Youtube. Funny at times and I enjoyed it! I am a filmmaker and know how hard it is to pull off a low budget feature film. These guys did it. So, pop open a beer, sit back and don't take it at all serious and I think you have a good time watching this lesser known comedy film.

I tried watching this on amazon but to be honest I just couldn't focus on it. It is either not my style a comedy - I am feeling grumpy after watching more than a third of it - or it is not in fact a comedy. It features a lot of talking but hardly any jokes. There is some bad language involved as well, which I haven't felt added much to the enjoyment of the film. The leading roles are not strong enough to keep my interest or funny enough to make me laugh. There were only a few places visited for the first half of the film and I stopped watching after this. It is only so much I can forgive a movie before I give up on it. This is only 1 of a few movies I stopped watching because of quality (or lack off).

All in all I was disappointed with this movie and can't help wondering how is this rated so high on here.

Not nearly as bad or as good as the extreme reviews make it out to be. It has some funny moments and was made well enough to hold your interest.

I about peed in my pants during JT's encounter with the employment agent, and the actor who played the colorful, in-way-over-his-head Jimmy Bobo fellow was typecast for that role. Without giving away the central plot line, the concept of planning the heist without considering its spoil rate was genius, while at the same time showing the desperation (and ignorance) of the main characters, who despite their limited means, never seem to lack for smokes, booze and choice language. Oh, and we watched it a second time and picked up on even more of the hysterical irony. I look forward to more hilariously insightful films from Gregg Russell.

A Free Bird is a great movie! It had me laughing out loud at so many points throughout. The storyline is great, and the actors are all so well cast. There aren't any big names in this movie -- but you may recognize Tammy from the Starz show Magic City. She is great! Jimmy Bobo has got to be one of the best characters I have seen in a movie in a long time. The scenes with him are definitely among my absolute favorites in the whole movie. I love the craziness of these guys. And the best part is that you know there are people out there just like this. I think that's what makes it so funny. Watch this movie when you want to laugh. you definitely can't go wrong! A Free Bird is definitely one to keep around for future viewing.
