Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A lot of fun.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Where do I even start? The film starts off with a promising dramatic premise of Robert De Niro portraying a recently widowed husband who tries to contact his children. And then it goes downhill from there.Who wrote this trashfire of a script? The dialogue is incredibly cliche and weak, and tries to establish emotional relevance and connection with quotes about urinating on walls. The film is supposed to be about De Niro reconnecting with his children, but really it's about him reconnecting with his one son who decided to pursue art and his other children (who are also lacking in achievement, to his disappointment) hiding the fact that he was arrested and died of an overdose. How are we supposed to connect to this otherwise heartbreaking event when the son was never shown on screen, and the only flashback sequence we get is of De Niro encouraging his son to pursue art in a god-awful line about urinating on walls? When the film tries to bring it back up towards the end, as if we're expected to cry for it, it's laughable. Everybody's NOT fine because everybody's not finely written in this trashfire of a film that lacks any emotional connection with its characters and fails to establish and develop the characters that matter because it simply can't handle decent and relatable dialogue.

The house of the protagonist Frank(Robert De Niro) who died with his wife a while ago seems comfortable, but it feels lonesome.Scraping the outer grass or organizing the inside of the house does not give the person a special vitality. Before my wife leaves this world, the kids already have a lot of walls and leave him You are cold inside the house so he will wait for the day the children will visit and wait.In order to entertain a good meal for children, he purchases good wines with large marts and also buys good quality meat and buys good performance barbecue grills.But my son and daughters who decided to return home on the weekend of consecutive holidays cancel cancellation of a sudden visit, and I will be home to all of your child's house directly.After that, the contents are composed by the talk which we stay at each child's house. It feels a bit like an omnibus style composition.Father who sees and feels all the difficult journey of the child and leaves the love of sadness and sympathy and comes home by lung disease.Frank who lost his medicine for pulmonary disease while complaining about the vague while traveling is supposed to return to the house where the flakes are about to fall. This time I will take an airplane for the first time in my life. However, myocardial infarction occurs during flight and it is dispatched to the hospital.Ironically, all the family gathers in Frank's bed.I believed in the death of my son, from before that, the cruelty that the truth that he knew is afraid, and a gentle lie the children gifts gifts. Frank is confused to the flood of the truth that has come out suddenly, the movie carries it with a warm gaze as well.People who played the role of father perform actingly like the actress Robert DeNiro, who enters near the child on behalf of his wife, but who is already a distant father like a modern father who had already been too far away.A unique star actor representing Hollywood such as Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell and Drew Barrymore appeared in this impressive drama, making the movie even more brilliant.Especially emotional performance that emerges from years of experience of Robert De Niro and comfortable performance without the power of young actors is enough for the audience to feel the excitement through resection..

I recently saw this film after years of hearing about it or seeing it on store shelves. Surprisingly, De Niro was not the reason I saw this film, but the relation it had to Paul McCartney's input with the song "(I want to) Come Home". It's not the best reason to watch a movie I know, but I'm not one for a hokey "learning about ourselves" premise. That being said, I was taken by how well written the film really was. I was expecting something tired and slow, but it turned out to be quite "SNAPPAY" in its dialogue. I also liked how its a story that shows why the "American Dream" can not only be daunting for parents and children, but also toxic for relationships. My biggest shock was the man of the hour himself, Robert "Double Oscar, second coming of Vito and professional volleyball filler" De Niro. I thought........he was kind of bland. (SHOCK AND AWE!! SNAPPAY!) I really respect you Bob, I think your an extremely talented and actually pretty funny actor, but this film felt a little off to me. It felt like he was being one of his gangster roles while speaking to a homeless man on a subway (Not the sandwich shop, no one gets mentioned till I get paid), but became as soft as he was in "Awakenings" while speaking to his grandson or a baby he is forced to look after. He was good, but not the best he has been. That goes for the film as well, along with its supporting cast. While Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale (and the rest!) dish out good performances, that's all you can really say about them, good. The film and actors are not AMAZING, but they leave you all warm, fuzzy, and feelin' fine.The film isn't a masterpiece, but its not even close to bad. Its a movie that you can watch without thinking too hard, but don't turn your mind off completely, there may be something you can relate to.BONUS DISC!!!!!!!: One last thing for all you freedom fighters out there. There is an interesting nugget in the special features with Paul McCartney and the making of the song "(I want to) Come Home". If you like Paul and his work, that will be worth at least a rent. While you have it though, watch the film, you may be pleasantly surprised.

This movie is about a father and his 4 children. He loves them so much, and when his wife is still alive, he didn't pay much attention to their status. When his wife is dead, he regrets about that and wants to get all the children together to have a family party. However, something bad happens, which makes it not possible. So he visits them one by one. During the visit, he knows that everybody is not as successful as they claim they are. However, he realized that David lives the life that he wants him to live, instead of doing something he himself really wants to do. This is bad thing, because people should live their own lives. Obviously he has spoiled David's life. Then he said "no matter you are a painter or an artist, I love you". It's touching. Overall this movie is good.
