Viewing Notes

Slim pickings this week forcing me out to a theater I despise.

Super charming flick with terrific performances across the board. Shia LaBeouf is perfect in this role. Zack Gottsagen as “Zak” is very good. Dakota Johnson is luminous, brightening every scene she’s in. Wish Hawkes had a better story but he’s always good even in limited capacity here. Both Dern and Thomas Haden Church are great in support.

Feel-good movie of the late summer / early fall.
