The Angriest Man in Brooklyn Audience Reviews

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
JohnnyLee1 Unsatisfying. I hope this was not Robin Williams' final movie. Poignant because it concerns the death of the character he plays. For this reason only was I able to watch it to the end. Not a good reason to view a film. But I wanted it to improve, even after the embarrassingly insensitive stuttering scene with James Earl Jones.
FilmBuff1994 The Angriest Man in Brooklyn is a brutal film with a poorly developed plot and a cast that mostly only seems to be there for the paycheck. The only worthwhile performance in this film is from Robin Williams, who embodies the emotions of a man who is expressive with no emotion but anger. You could really feel meaningful rage from him here, and his monologue in the camera is beautifully performed. However, it is simply not funny, I did not give a sincere laugh once during it. Most jokes fall flat and the ones that could have worked stumble due to poor pacing and execution. There is also no excitement, as we are following a man who has been made aware that he has 90 minutes left to live, but we are informed straight after that it is not the case, so we watch him run around like a headless chicken not being able to be a part of his adventure cause we know he will be fine. It also fails at trying to be heartwarming, as it tries to develop a relationship between Williams and Mila Kunis that was very forceful in its attempts to be sweet that it merely comes across as cringe, and the scenes towards the end had me rolling my eyes.They say that great actors can save poor scripts, but I disagree, Williams was perfect here, there was absolutely nothing wrong with his performance, but he simply could not save a badly written, poorly paced mess. Unfunny and extremely forgetful, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn will only leave you as mad as its protagonist. A man with an anger problem tries to clear up all his flawed relationships after learning he has 90 minutes left to live. Best Performance: Robin Williams / Worst Performance: Mila Kunis
draciron The plot asks what would you do if you knew you had less than 2 hours to live? Stop and answer that before you even watch the movie. Then ask it again after you have. Do that and you will get and like this movie. Too many are hung up on the specifics of William's character. There is dark comedy but this is more of an introspective movie. Robin Williams gets to display the whole gamut of his considerable acting skills over the course of the little time he has left and the antics that ensue. This was one of the better movies to come out in the last few years and should have been the last one of William's movies to be released. A tribute to a man who gave us so much over the years.
BlackRoseShelli I wish I would have seen this before Robin died. I think a lot of my feelings about this movie were colored by his untimely death. I tried very hard to watch it with an open mind, looking at it from the perspective that he was still alive. I failed miserably. The concept of the movie was an interesting take on an old question: what would you do if you knew you only had so much time to live? This put a whole new spin on the question, but the outcome was relatively the same. The cast was an unusual choice, in my opinion. Robin Williams was well known for being able to play a wide array of characters, from the brilliantly funny to the downright broken. This character was oddly complex. But again, maybe that's just me reading into it because of Robin's death. Ironically, one of the funniest scenes in the movie is the last scene, in which Robin's character is absent. In all, it was a fairly good movie that made me laugh and cry, and not necessarily at the points where you're supposed to laugh or cry. And it really made me miss the genius actor even more.
