(This review may contain spoilers).

I wasn’t completely sure what I would think about this film when I originally saw it advertised. I was expecting a comedy… which it delivered… but there were quite a lot of serious scenes.

It was interesting to see Robert De Niro playing a nice, happy guy, compared to the role I’ve seen him in the past two comedies. I liked the fact that the film started off with him almost narrating his life… and the reason why worked really well, I felt.

It was also good to see Ben dealing with the new kinds of technology. I liked the fact that one of the main characters was older.

I Lack Focus

October is Halloween movie month! Having been completely deprived of any kind of Halloween experience growing up, I now spend 31 days celebrating with film and TV. I like to shoot for a mix of old and new, horror and comedy, from the slightly spooky to the totally terrifying to the just plain weird. Each day of October I’ll reviewing one of these ventures in the realm of the creepy and supernatural. Some will be high quality cinema and some will require large amounts of alcohol to survive. Stock up on seasonal beer and Fireball-apple jello shots and join me! A warning, though – unless the review is of a very recent release, HERE BE SPOILERS.
