    It would have been a much better movie if son and father were alone in a room for two hours, trying not to talk to each other. This movie seems designed to showcase Downey's acting chops. Frankly we only ever see Downey, the movie star, and not his character. Okay we get it, he is angry with his father. And his father is afraid of his son's recklessness. All the rest is soap opera with a predictable ending. Lots of people showed up to be in the audience--they must have been starved for an Ironman fix. Problems with Downey speaking too fast, not able to get all the dialog. Also, problems with editing... camera is on others when Downey is speaking (too fast)...although it doesn't matt

    This movie is outstanding! It has all the elements of an award winning movie in my opinion. It has humor. drama, excitement, heartache and heartwarming moments - not to mention GREAT acting! Robert Downey Jr. was amazing and it was great to see him outside of the Ironman movies. He is truly a gifted actor. Robert Duvall is always wonderful but he played the role of the Judge perfectly. All the other actors were also played really well and made the entire movie so realistic in terms of family dynamics. It touched my heart in so many ways and will stay with me for a long time. A MUST see movie!

    This is not a GREAT movie, it's a good movie with GREAT performances by Robert Duvall and Robert Downey Jr. Billy Bob Thornton, though he didn't have a large part was both riveting and believable as the prosecuting attorney. I don't believe any other actor could've been as successful in this role. Although I found the movie draggy and with too much cliqued dialogue, it was well worth the price of the ticket and my time to go see it.
