It was a bit of a dud, which is too bad considering the talent involved and the fact that it is one of the last movies that Williams made before his death. The fault here is completely due to the script, which has a few comical moments but most of it is just pretty dull and feels like a twelve year old wrote it. Thankfully the cast fares much better. Robin Williams and Joel McHale play great off each other and were a joy to watch and Lauren Graham and Candice Bergen both stole all of their scenes. It wasn't a hard movie to sit through, just incredibly minor and pretty mediocre.

That's how I felt about The Angriest Man in Brooklyn.

Pretty much agree with movies35. A waste of a strong cast. Not terrible exactly but not very good. Feels cheap.

5/10 ( C )
