Nico M @Nicom 2h It's so good I've seen it 5 times! See more L G @LGlover 3d A wonderful film! Great performances, moving story, a lot of heart. See more Richard B @RT78313334 4d I read Smith’s "Mr. Wonderful" when it was released. So, I was really excited to hear that the novel was becoming a movie. In the time between both, my father passed away. Realizing the film was available, I downloaded it for an international flight and ended up thrilled that I did. You don’t have to be taking such a flight, however, to watch this one. So, let me encourage you to take the time to enjoy this film that wrestles so well with life—and all the parts that contribute to making it wonderful.

See more Andrew N @RT11416514 Aug 4 Without a doubt this is the best film by writer & producer Dan Smith to date! Also, what an incredible swan song for Michael Madsen.
