Review of Around the Bend (2004) by Laurence P — 24 Jan 2009

I have to be honest, and say I missed most of the first half of the film, so I missed pretty much all of Michael Caine's performance, but what little I did see was excellent.

I loved the rest of it; it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think.

There was a cute dog, and an even cuter little boy, who melted my heart, especially when he smiled.

And Christopher Walken throwing some shapes. Frankly, what more do you want?

The ending, although a foregone conclusion, was very poignant, and the bittersweet final few frames had me weeping.

If I'd seen more, I'd have marked it higher, so I'll make it my goal to see all of it.
