You won't be disappointed!

best movie i've ever seen.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I watched this randomly, knowing nothing about it. This is now my favorite film of the year. It was kind of an emotional roller coaster, but in all the right ways.The theater I watched this in allowed alcoholic drinks, which I nervously consumed due to the subject matter being related in a way that reveals the horror of consequences that can follow a night of drinking; lives completely altered in mere moments.I would recommend this movie to all ages 16+ including friends and family.Worth noting... I observed a few people in wheelchairs watching from in front of me. It was distracting at first to see screens glowing in front of them for subtitles. My frustration very quickly disappeared as the movie went on... please be patient if screens bother you.Enjoy the movie!

I admit this film brought tears to my eyes several times. A very touching true story about a terribly disturbed man, who made his life worse through alcohol abuse to the point where he is almost physically destroyed by his actions while abusing the substance. But, the terrible accident which would appear to destroy his life, ends up saving his life and giving his life meaning and value! Great acting and storyline! The Academy rarely gets it right, but this film should get several nominations! Big surprise for me as I wasn't expecting much, but was highly moved by this film.

A poorly-written script grandstanding liberal political correctness, and dollar-store philosophy, with a sappy button-pushing soundtrack throughout to remind the viewers that they are constantly witnessing touching and deep drama. Overall, it's yet another attempt by Hollywood movie makers who've probably had their heads in La La Land artificiality for a long time trying to be real and soulful, and failing much of the time. It's based on a true story, and the story is about a victim who overcomes victimization, so I did not want to dislike this movie. But when the sage Alcoholics Anonymous guru said in a moment of epiphanic clarity,"My grandparents were rich, my parents were rich, and I grew up rich. Like, it's so funny," I realized that that was not just an isolated dumb moment, but fairly representative of the whole movie. A man railing against women in the military out of nowhere and for no apparent reason other than, I'm cynically thinking, the makers of this movie got to check "show sexism" off the checklist. Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot is yet another blatant attempt to appeal to all the sizable American demographic groups even if that means changing the real story, and even if that means putting something in where it doesn't belong, or even though it's just plain dumb. The best thing about this movie is the cartoons, which are actual cartoons drawn by the brilliant cartoonist John Callahan. See the movie for the cartoons and for Joaquin Phoenix's acting. Beyond that it's a steady stream of cheesy and formulaic, though many people in the audience seemed sold that it was sophisticated and inspiring.

Wow, what a compelling and dramatic performance by Jonah Hill ....and of course Joaquin Phoenix. I come to expect great and unique performances in everything that Joaquin does and am never disappointed, but what really stood out to me in this film was the performance of Jonah Hill. From what the announcer at Sundance 2018 described as a "chameleon like character", Jonah really drives it home with his portrayal as Donnie, the AA friend and sponsor to Joaquin's true life character John Callahan. Much like the comics that John Callahan has made over the years, this movie is filled with a lot of humor, despite the struggles he faced throughout his life, including his addiction to alcohol. Donnie is there as a source of inspiration and guidance to John in helping him overcome these obstacles while also providing some comic relief. Jonah's performance really gives depth and insight to Joaquin's character as he struggles to pick up the pieces of his shattered life and continues on his journey to make some of the most outlandish and though provoking comics of his time. Overall, I highly recommend watching this, as I feel we can all relate the context on some level. It will be quite the tear jerker towards the end and also allow you to empathize with both Donnie and John as they help each other overcome life's many hardships.
