Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

TheRealBambi This is a very sweet & sappy film; one that kept me kind of entertained. The actors did their jobs effectively. The screenwriting, for me, was the real issue. Cliche bingo kept me alert as I watched the particularly snooze worthy scenes. Naming the Grandkid "Hope" was an effective, lazy way to have lines write themselves. "Mr. Collins, say goodbye to Hope" ... please.I reckon all great actors need an easy film to pay the rent ~ and this one was a slam dunk paycheck for skilled veterans like Pacino, Benning, & Cannavale. Nobody broke a sweat except Pacino ... but he does sweat easily. Plus, Danny Collins looks like he's a loving, loyal & colorful person in real life. He probably would have been fun to sit next to at a bar and chatting; something I truly appreciate in a person.If you want a film that isn't dark, won't provoke one deep thought, and that you can watch while doing menial household chores ... this is it. Didn't hate it; didn't love it. It's like oatmeal for breakfast; healthy and bland.

huggibear This is a movie for everyone, especially musicians who have problems dealing and coping with all the fame and money. It can wreak havoc upon anyone's mental stability, including the drugs that are available to the wealthy. I really enjoyed this movie. The only thing that I would have done differently was add more closure with the hotel manager, Mary Sinclair and his relationship with his family. Otherwise, a fine masterpiece with just enough to satisfy some kinds of closure.

edwagreen Another wonderful Al Pacino film where he stars as an aging rock singer who wishes to seek meaning to his life when he discovers an autographed letter from John Lennon.Collins travels to New Jersey to meet his illegitimate son and his family. Kind-hearted, he meets immediate rejection by the son, nicely played by Bobby Carnivale. As the manager of the hotel, Annette Bening is completely unrecognizable and very effective as the straight-laced manager who comes to understand and appreciate Danny.Christopher Plummer, also very good, looks like he came out of a fitting for The Exorcist in a few scenes.This is a story of family, redemption and pulling together in crisis. A true winner all the way.

The Couchpotatoes Danny Collins is an easy entertaining movie to watch. Seeing Al Pacino in a different role then we are used to was nice. Instead of his usual gangster mob scenes we see him now as a music idol that wasted his life on drugs, booze and easy women. After 40 years of that life he gets a letter from John Lennon that got lost before reaching him. This makes him realize his life could have been completely different. From then on he takes steps to try to turn around his life and to make things right. Al Pacino is charming and funny in his role as Danny Collins. The relation that he has or that he wants with Annette Bening is entertaining to watch. All in all Danny Collins is a nice feelgood movie, better then I expected it to be.
