Watch Little Men For Free

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

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

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Little Men is a small movie about big decisions. How can we navigate the financial w/the heartfelt, the mundane w/the important, the lesser things w/the big picture? A parent dies leaving his tenant's future in the balance as his adult children try to resolve matters. The respective children of children become best friends in the midst of this emotional turmoil & the right thing has to be done. Quiet moments speaks volumes as the film reaches its tentative yet obvious conclusion.

This is a very moving, quiet little story about the friendship between two sensitive, artistic boys. It's a realistic but somehow very sweet portrayal of life in Brooklyn, and how the problems of adults can affect their children. The entire cast is first-rate and the performances of the two boys were outstanding - Michael Barbieri is one to watch out for in the future and Theo Taplitz was also excellent.

Had this movie been more about the boys and less about the hard-to-like adults, it could have been something pure, fresh, exciting. Unfortunately, it turns out to be nothing but a constant skidding into the margins of a plot that never gets past the original idea.Was this filmed with the sole purpose of indulging the viewer with a superbly shot, colorful urban reality? It gains ground there. Maybe we were supposed to pour out our emotional responses on account of Greg Kinnear's, admittedly very talented, ever-downcast writhing eyebrows? Because that would be another minor win for Little Men.Alas, I don't think either of those points carry any sort of validity so, all in all, it all wraps up into a sad 'no'.

"The neighborhoods changing." Brian Jardine (Kinnear) is a struggling actor who has just lost his father. He heads to Brooklyn for the funeral and to deal with his fathers estate. He discovers that a small business was costing his father money, and is unable to continue the same deal. This causes tension with him and the owner of the business, which is further enhanced by the fact that Brian's son and the son of the owner are best friends. This is a really good movie that makes you think. You really struggle to decide who is in the right and can see both sides equally. The dynamic of the adults and the kids relationships are really fleshed out and are the true heart of the movie. That said, the movie could have been really good but it stayed a little monotone and the end just kind of happened. When you watch this you will see what I mean. Overall, the acting and writing are good, but it felt a little flat at some parts and really just came to an abrupt end, which hurt the movie a little bit. I disappointingly give this a B-.
