Viewing Notes
Not sure how I missed this one in the theater but catching up now. Didn’t realize this is like some alt-universe IRON MAN flick. I do recall many favorable comments about this film and now I understand why. Favreau has directed himself in really the best kind of feel-good flick. Also cool that he used real locations like Franklin’s BBQ in Austin. That brisket is the real deal.
I wish John Leguizamo was in more movies. Love that guy.
