The hero is too annoying for his age. As if he didn't learn before through punches in the face. The light comes when he get in jail. Not credible, unless he's a benign psychopath.

I started watching this as the storyline was curious. The main character was amazing. One day it might one of us pondering to connect with the fellow human being. It made me laugh and portrayed the reality of life. My eyes ended up in tears when Wilson was able to connect with few souls. Characterizations were beautiful.

Woody Harrelson gives a compelling performance in this year's film but the picture is spoiled a lot by the constant profanity by him and Diane Ladd, portraying his former wife.Harrelson is just perfect as an odd-ball character seeking the meaning of life while desperately trying to form relationships with new friends as well as female companionship.He meets up with his ex-wife who informs him that she didn't have an abortion years before but rather gave up the child for adoption. The two go to see the girl and find an obese, unhappy high school girl taunted by classmates.They try to form a relationship with her and take her to Lane's sister. There, Lane's snooty sister discovers that the girl is telling everyone by phone that she is at a friend's house and calls police. Harrelson is locked up for 3 years and the daughter testifies against him with the kidnapping charge, egged on by her irate adopted parents.Harrelson is released after doing his time and Lane informs him that she is moving to Australia with her sponsor. His beloved dog has died and he takes up with the girl who was watching the dog during his absence.There is a very satisfying end to this film dealing with human relationships, rejection, the need to be wanted and ultimate triumph.

"Wilson" is one of those movies as you watch you feel entertained as it's blended with drama and comedy and it's a tale of an underdog guy with a good heart who's just trying to fit into today's world. Woody Harrelson stars as Wilson an old fashioned lonely set in his ways kind of guy who would like to talk instead of sending an email. And of late Wilson's life is in the toilet as his father has just past away. So finally for some connection Wilson relocates his ex wife(Laura Dern)who's middle aged yet still sexy and full of life, and some one night stands begin between the two! To top it off with the frosting on the cake Wilson learns of a teenage daughter(Isabella Amara) that he never meet. In Wilson's brash and blunt crazy ways he makes a reconnect only to have it spin a little bit out of control and change his life. Overall this little comedy drama looks at life, love, and reconnecting with family while in the end it shows it can bring happiness.
