Much Under-rated Film!

I don't understand why this film only grossed 500k and practically went straight to video. I also wonder if the under appreciation for Robin's performance didn't contribute to his depression and ultimately his untimely demise. One trait of a movie that I would rate a 3.5 out of ten like this one averaged is poor acting and no suspension of disbelief. Other traits might be: Unbelievable unsympathetic characters, poor plot, shoddy filming, lousy music score. This film had none of these characteristics. Robin's acting was superb, as was that of his attractive co-star. Both characters were perfectly believable and affable (if flawed). Their eccentric behavior is based on understandable life events in their past. Despite the dark topic of the movie, it still manages to raise a variety of emotions including laughter, insight, relief, joy, thoughtfulness, love, reflection and many more. I guess for a film to have any appeal to the Hollywood crowd or insightful "critics" these days it has to be written for teenagers or by (yawn) Woody Allen. The rest, no matter how endearing or how many redeeming qualities they have, wind up in the straight to video dumpster. Anyway, if it isn't apparent, this is a worthwhile movie I recommend, even though the car crashes and special effects are limited in number. Robin Williams could be proud of his performance despite the horrible reception and reviews the movie received.

Unusual dark and surprisingly meaningful and hilarious

An angry man (you will find out why) finds out he is dying. Robin Williams gives a rounded performance full of drama and humor. Mila Kunis plays his doctor who tries to get him to hospital. There is a journey around Brooklyn as the angry man tries to settle things with his family. It'squite touching and the humor comes unexpectedly. The performances are all good. Mila is endearing as the overwhelmed doctor.

There are some laugh out loud moments especially with James Earl Jones.

Ignore the bad reviews and that it had to go to Video on Demand quickly. This is a funny unusual dark and surprisingly meaningful comedy plus it's one of Robin William's last movies.
