this is the story of Harold, it seems that no one told Harold that Elvis is dead ,this is a "loveable loser.." movie, it is just a visit with Harold really , you tag along w/ him as if you are his best friend , you get to know (and probably like) him,- I like very few romantic comedies -- i really liked this one ,-- it does test your loyalty by plodding along a bit in some parts , but even those moments are fun because Harold is fun, This movie is my definition of "campy", it is done well though. I don't see how you could "not " like this movie --even if you came in halfway through(who writes a review after missing half a movie??)-- the movie picks up about 40 mins in, and if you followed the story , it continues to get better till the end which is worth the wait... Good movies are (to me) judged by the end ---at the end of "3000 miles to Graceland", it hit me that I had just watched a brilliant movie/and you don't get that till the end sometimesso - if you are looking for a "top notch" "feel good" movie , Unbeatable Harold fits nicely. I enjoyed it , i recommend it, and I would watch it again. now just start the movie

I had the honor of attending the premier showing of this film. It was a delightful, funny, warm, endearing, refreshing interlude---a pleasant break from some of the weird and violent films I have seen. This is a film you can take your wife or kids to and sit back and simply enjoy yourself. There are some outstanding and talented actors and singers in this film and I hope that it will be followed by a sequel movie or a TV series. I am told that Henry Winkler (The Fonz) has expressed interest in being a part of the TV series when and if it happens. What great fun that would be! I read the previous reviewer's comments in disbelief, because this wonderful and worthwhile movie has something in it for just about everyone.

This was the worst movie I have ever seen. I say that without exaggeration. The film failed to focus. I couldn't even tell you what it was about. It's best described as an 1 1/2 hour long montage of first draft jokes. I've never been so disappointed in a film. I went to the premiere and wanted to walk out. The main character, Harold, didn't really have an established goal in mind. Harold wandered from one thing to the next and I kept hoping that he would settle on a goal. Thirty minutes into it, I realized it wasn't going to happen. They introduced a new plot line! It was torture.This was a SAG low budget film and the production was good, but the script wandered and the characters fell flat. Winkler and McDermott couldn't save it. Gladys Knight and Phyllis Diller didn't have a chance. The Unbeatable Harold will get his butt beat at the box office.

I recently saw Unbeatable Harold at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan.This film I must say blew me away. I didn't know what to expect going in because I wasn't familiar with Gordon Michaels who plays the lead role of Harold. Well let me tell you he is awesome as Harold. So funny and original talent sure to become a star. And so handsome. And he wrote the screenplay. I will never miss any of his future films. Hard to describe this film because it's so original. Performances by Dylan McDermott, Henry Winkler, Gladys Knight, and even Phyllis Diller were really great. Dylan Mcdermott has never been better. He plays a washed up 80's rocker. Didn't know he was that funny. I feel really lucky to be a part of the sell out crowd of 500 people that night. I haven't heard that many people laugh so much since I saw Wedding Crashers. This film has a lot of heart and was so much fun. I'm sure it will make it to the theaters and I've been telling everybody. If you are looking for a film that will take you out of your head for a while, touch your heart, and will make you laugh, and boy will you laugh, don't miss Unbeatable Harold.
