Big movie, big surprise. Pure emotions, something different on the sky.

At first this movies lifts one's expectations. It could have been a great portrait of a straight talking slightly bewildered man (Harrelson is quite good). Then that focus is lost. But replaced with another dynamic that quickly grabs the attention - the story wanders unexpectedly, but in a good way. The middle part I watched mostly to see where the makers can take this story. And every turn was well within the logic of the story, well within the foundations laid down at the start for the characters and the spaces they move in. Then it suddenly becomes silly and sentimental. And ends. Did they run out of time and decide to quickly end this little money spinner? Did they grow bored? Pity. It could have been a much better movie. As it is there are much better ones to watch today.

I started watching this as the storyline was curious. The main character was amazing. One day it might one of us pondering to connect with the fellow human being. It made me laugh and portrayed the reality of life. My eyes ended up in tears when Wilson was able to connect with few souls. Characterizations were beautiful.

This movie had me laughing so much I'm gonna have to watch it again because I missed some of the dialog due to not being able to stop laughing. There is a lot of foul language because Woody's character has no filter, and that's part of the humor. Unlike most movies made these days, there's a purpose and method to the language. It's not just foul language for the sake of foul language. Having said that, it's probably best to watch alone, or with someone you know is not sensitive to foul language. Woody does an excellent job with his character, although I get the feeling it wasn't much of a stretch for him. This may be the best I've seen from Woody. Excellent movie!
