Good concept, poorly executed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This film tells the story of a successful singer back in the day, who plots a comeback single and if it goes well, even possibly a new album. However, things do not go smoothly as he is faced with domestic troubles with his loved ones.With Christopher Walken in the film, I had high hopes that it would be at least a decent film. Unfortunately, I don't think the film really goes anywhere. It fails to engage or captivate, because not much happens in the film. They characters are poorly developed, and I just don't care about them. Emotional portrayals are lacking, which is unfortunate because there are many points which could provide emotional poignancy. In short, I found the film dull and boring.

Too much driving around in cars, like it was the normal thing to do, just like in "The Family Fang", another recent Walken misfire. Why should we care for childish, rich and idle characters with a gigantic ego problem? Their only concerns are for themselves, and they are aimlessly fighting with each other, completely oblivious to the hard realities most of us have to face, in good capitalistic fashion. It also tries too hard to be smart for its own good, instead of any real depth of feeling or thinking. The cinematography has nothing to recommend it, and again the characters have no endearing trait whatsoever. Everybody looks empty, aimless and depressed. We're mostly left with a Walken one-man show, which is half-watchable but even this gets old. I bet he relished his line "I'm not a villain" though.

It was not that it was really bad, as much as it was bland and stale.I've seen Christopher Walken give a more lively performance in much worse movies. This was Definitely not his finest performance. Amber Heard was not interesting enough to hold down this movie at all, and the chemistry between her and Walken was pretty weak. It was suppose to be a coming-of-age story, but there is no heart behind it, and it really needs that heart.And it felt like the actors were just dictating the script, not acting.the music was pretty lame too. The song that went through the film, that was suppose to capture the moment, failed to do so. Could not recommence seeing this flick as it did nothing for me.

In an era of recycled comic book sequel films and films praised more for their technical aspects than their substance, 'When I Live My Life Over Again' is very refreshing. First of all, Amber Heard is great in this breakout role for her, and I have no significant qualms with her performance, or really, anything in the film. Christopher Walken, however, steals the show, delivering his best performance in years, and is probably my personal favorite of his. He perfectly personifies the aging, listless, dad, and his low key style blends perfectly with Amber Heard's more loud and reckless style. Ultimately, this film, without giving away too much, is everything an independent film should be, and seeing it at the TriBeCa Film Festival was quite the treat.
