The Angriest Man in Brooklyn 2014

It was a remake of the Israeli movie 'Mar Baum'. Kind of incorrect to call it a comedy movie when it is a dark comedy. Enjoyments from both the genres are different. You know it was one of the last movies of the legendary actor Robin Williams. That was not the reason for me to like it. The story begins to build on a silly reason, but it was a partially unique concept. Opens like a regular comedy and then turn over to the actual meaning for the contents it deals. Like the cancer theme movies it gets emotional in the later parts. There's no twists, but convinces the effort they had tried to end it on a high note. Sadly, it kind of depicts the actual life incident of Robin Williams. It is a great loss, I grew up watching 'Jumanji' and 'Flubber' and definitely he's going to live forever through his movies. Henry Altman is a man of impatient. He always angry at everyone for everything. It was no different one day when he decides to go see a doctor. He gets his turn after the long wait. As usual, he shows his anger at the lady doctor who just had a bad day. With a tension arise in an argument, a mistake will be made. So the adventure begins that takes us along all over the city which takes place in a 90 minutes. Like all the story, after realizing the what she had done was wrong, how it was brought into the sense for who affected by her mistake is the remaining. > **‘‘Anger is the only thing they left me. > Anger is my refuge, it's my shield. Anger is my birthright!’’** The trailer itself said everything about the movie. Going for the movie without the trailer watch would be a great move, at least you will get something to enjoy. The cast was good, I mean everyone, including who came in short roles. It mainly focused on Robin Williams and Mila Kunis roles. These two characters take an adventure throughout the Brooklyn before the story comes to the conclusion. The movie was a lot better than I thought and what others said about it. It is kind of tearjerker movie. With the loss of Robin Williams in the real life, I got a little emotional to the end part. But the story was a bit let down. In the middle when the second half starts to undertake it really slows down and nothing happens in an exciting way. Frankly to say, it was an hour movie, but stretched for extra few more minutes to make comfortable for the theatre release. So that caused it to fall to a moderate pace. It should have been a short movie, though, as a feature film it kind of satisfied me. Somehow, with the nice direction and performances and places it was shot, all combined together gives an overall decent movie watching experience. 7.5/10

It has beens 7 years since his passing. Suddenly, I felt like watch this film, the final film the late Robin Williams was in. Brought a lot of emotion in me; laughed out loud for most of the scenes, and left with a sad tear at the end. We still miss you, Robin!

Who other than Jason Statham in Crank or a very small child (about Peter Dinklage’s height) would believe you if you told them they have 90 minutes to live? Possibly the same people who'd laugh watching this movie, since only the very credulous will believe what passes for humor in this film to be funny. Here is a movie that thinks James Earl Jones as a stuttering video store owner is comedic gold, when in fact taking one of the most potent voices ever in cinema and giving it a speech impediment is nothing short of stupid (even dumber than not giving Nic Cage any dialogue in Willy’s Wonderland). Henry Altmann (Williams), the titular angriest man in Brooklyn – though I’ve seen’em a lot angrier; Michael Douglas in Falling Down and Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast come to mind –, has a “short list” of things he hates. This list contains more than 30 items that we know of. See? It’s funny because the list is not really short ha, ha. It would have been much funnier, however, if the list was comprised of original entries, instead of easy targets such as “the Knicks” or “dog crap” or “the smell of urine.” Who among us does not hate these things? Henry goes to a doctor’s appointment and is told to put on a hospital gown. The kind of gown that opens in the back, and you don’t really need me to tell you where this is going. See? Because exposed derrières are funny ha, ha. Curiously, Henry knows he doesn’t need a hospital gown – he actually says as much –, so why does he wear it anyway? The most inexplicable thing in a movie whose very existence defies logic is the narration. Or should I say narrations, plural? Some of Henry’s scenes feature narration by Williams, and ditto for Kunis as Dr. Sharon Gill (Henry’s physician). For some reason they both narrate in the third person. Here’s an idea: why not get a third party to do any and all narration? Someone like James Earl Jones, for example (preferably without the stutter).
