    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Don't Make Me Go' is a heartfelt road trip drama focusing on family, love, and mortality. The film is lauded for its emotional story, strong performances by John Cho and Mia Isaac, and realistic character portrayals. However, it faces criticism for its ending, which some find surprising yet disappointing or implausible. The handling of sensitive themes and the depiction of flawed characters are appreciated, though opinions on certain scenes and pacing are mixed.

    Great but no need for nude scene

    The story itself was amazing, the relation between father and daughter, the things he tried to do for her, the way she de with things in her life, but in my opinion there was no need for the nude scene in the beginning of the movie. It could be a good family movie.

    Great Acting

    Teary movie that really throws a curve ball. Great road trip between daughter and father... except for the final drive...still waiting for him to see the meteor shower...and the frontal nudity...what's the big deal.?

    First time for everything

    First time I've ever cried watching a movie, and I don't even have children but I could still relate. Me and my girl cried like waterfalls. I really recommend this one and the acting is excellent.

    That's how life is

    Watching this just sad and sad keep going but end up some happy ending I assume. That's quite a real life situation that so many things are unpredicted and we can't control. The message of this drama is quite clear - Live at the moment and hold tight for your loved ones. U never know what will happen tomorrow. The acting skills of both father and daughter are quite good. For a teen actress, I can see her potential and hope more chance to see her act in the future. The planning not go to the way it suppose to make me impress about this movie, thought it would be some chicle ending but surprise at the end. Writer did a good job.

    I feel this.

    I'm a father of two. A 14 year old son and a 6 year old daughter who thinks she's 26 lol. I had a brain tumor when I was 25 and had to think about how my family would make it, if I didn't survive the operation.

    I cant imagine being a single parent without grand parents, or an uncle to support my children.

    This movie touched me. It made me feel that I'm not alone in the feelings I have for my children. Parents want to care for their kids, even if we don't know the absolute best way how.

    I think it was well written, the road trip scenes were beautiful, the message was great. I loved it. We ate all doing the best we can. Hopefully, for the greater good for our children.

    • Trivia
      New Zealand only allows left-hand drive cars if they are old; this is why Max drives such an old vehicle, since the film is set in the United States.
    • Goofs
      The scene when Wally runs from the hotel and takes the Grand Wagoneer was supposed to be set in Florida. However, Florida does not have mountains and Interstate 10 is in the Panhandle, which is over two hundred miles north of Tampa.
