It's fun until somebody loses 40 months to hard time

Wilson

Crit
Yeah, I guess I get why the critical response has been lukewarm, or maybe a little cooler than that. But you know I'm a sucker for a redemption-ish story about a misanthrope with a heart of . . . well, not shit, anyway, initial appearances notwithstanding. And Woody Harrelson is the guy to play the protagonist of a Daniel Clowes graphic novel about a screwed-up ex-couple (Laura Dern plays Wilson's behaviorally challenged former wife, Pippi) stalking the teen daughter (Isabella Amara, nailing surly-needy) Wilson just discovered wasn't aborted when they broke up.

Then add 10 points for Judy Greer as a warm-hearted dog sitter. Always add 10 points for Judy Greer.
Trailer
  • Baywatch--Even a foundation of Dwayne Johnson seems unlikely to hold this up. [Congratulate me: unlike the trailer, I didn't make a cheap boob joke.]

123movies If you are even remotely interested in this movie, then you will enjoy it. This is of course assuming you realize it is a spoof of the the T.V. series, aren't expecting something super serious, and aren't afraid of some brief crude humor. The Rock, as always, is great... Zac Efron, as well. Cameos from the most iconic original cast and some great supporting roles = FUN! m4ufree movies
