Anyone my age would have grown up watching Burt Reynolds in Deliverance, The Longest Yard, Smokey and the Bandit and Hooper to name a few of the really good movies he made.For me this is up there with the best he has ever made, I went in with a bit of trepidation, not really knowing what to expect considering some of the movies he has been in of late were nothing to write home about. This is not one of them, it is very well done and had me glued to the screen basically from start to finish.Really good backup from Chevy Chase, Clark Duke and a superb performance from Ariel Winter make this a movie worth watching. The chemistry between Burt Reynolds and Ariel Winter makes this one of those movies you have to see more than once. Watching an older, much wiser man whose body has been aged by time and experience conversing with a younger, cockier version of himself was brilliant to watch.I felt all of the cast did a really good job, but this movie definitely belongs to Burt Reynolds, this is Burt at his dramatic best.Without a doubt a movie worth seeing more than once.

Whether you liked the movie or not almost doesn't matter. Writer/director Adam Rifkim thought of and respected Burt Reymolds enough to create a movie just for him in order to give the 82 year old Reynolds a chance to do something he probably thought he'd never get a chance to do again: star in a movie. And as a bonus, Rifkin actually made a nice little "tribute" movie that I really enjoyed. Sure, there were aspects to the movie that weren't original, but the story was nice, Reynolds was terrific, and it was great seeing him on the screen again. Good job and thank you Adam Rifkin!

If you are fan of either, it is a must view on Amazon Prime!

There are few male movie stars such as John Wayne, James Stewart, Henry Fonda of the 40s and 50s and 60s era, and after like Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, who when the movie is below average, they would still give a good performance. Burt Reynolds is in that group. He always gave his best. The last time I saw Reynolds was on an episode of Fastn Loud where they were replicating the Smokey and the Bandit Transam. At the time I thought, Burt has really aged, and proberbly he won't make another movie. How wrong I was. What a really refreshing movie, Burt gave an excellent performance as a semi-biographical actor. Don't miss it. After watching Deliverance again, you realized Burt made alot of mistakes with his movie career, but we still love him. Amen
