Watch The Angriest Man in Brooklyn For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

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.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

In the wake of Williams's suicide, it's difficult not to view THE ANGRIEST MAN IN BROOKLYN as a piece where truth and fiction have unwittingly come together.The basic scenario is one that has been well explored in past comedies: Henry Altmann (Williams) is told by his doctor Sharon Gill (Mila Kunis) that he has ninety minutes left on this earth, and resolves to pack as many things into that space of time as he can. Unfortunately his best-laid plans go wrong; his wife Bette (Melissa Leo) hates him, his son Tommy (Hamish Linklater) hasn't spoken to him for two years, and his childhood friend Bix Field (Richard Kind) has an argument with him over an incident occurring four decades previously when both were at school. Henry's main problem is that he cannot help but get angry at any and every little thing, which prevents him from understanding either himself or others.The narrative unfolds as a chase, with the doctor desperately trying to find Henry and explain things, but Henry proves fascinatingly elusive. There are some very funny set pieces, especially one in a store where Henry tries to purchase a video camera from Ruben (James Earl Jones).In the end the movie becomes a little overwhelmed with gushy sentiment, as the doctor and Henry meet up and things get worked out. Nonetheless there is still time for a hilarious piece of trading racist insults involving Henry, the doctor, and an Uzbek taxi driver (Daniel Raymont).Ingeniously structured round parallel voice-overs, with Williams and Kunis telling about each other's lives, their past, present and futures. THE ANGRIEST MAN IN BROOKLYN is worth watching, despite the saccharine moral.

"Henry Altmann" (Robin Williams) is having a bad day. On top of that he hasn't been feeling well lately so he goes to the hospital to see his doctor. When he gets there he waits for over two hours and is then informed that his regular doctor isn't in and he is seen by "Dr. Sharon Gill" (Mila Kunis) instead. After getting quite upset by this turn of events she proceeds to tell him that he has a severe brain aneurysm. This news causes him to go into an hysterical rage whereupon he demands to know how long he has to live. Not accustomed to being treated in this manner she gets mad and tells him he only has 90 minutes. Upon hearing this he storms out of the hospital. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that although it only runs for 83 minutes it seemed like it would never end. Although it is billed as both a comedy and a drama I personally didn't think it was very funny and the drama didn't hold up well either. In short, it had the necessary components to be at least an average movie but it struggled with its identity and ended up being a complete mess. I have rated it accordingly.

The plot asks what would you do if you knew you had less than 2 hours to live? Stop and answer that before you even watch the movie. Then ask it again after you have. Do that and you will get and like this movie. Too many are hung up on the specifics of William's character. There is dark comedy but this is more of an introspective movie. Robin Williams gets to display the whole gamut of his considerable acting skills over the course of the little time he has left and the antics that ensue. This was one of the better movies to come out in the last few years and should have been the last one of William's movies to be released. A tribute to a man who gave us so much over the years.

What you can just about call Williams' last film (in a starring role), and I was expecting more... Phil Alden Robinson ("Field of Dreams", "Sneakers"), who directs only about once or twice a decade, you would think would've selected something a little more special-?? Overall, this story of a man who believes he's terminal (irony?), then goes in a frantic journey all over the city to right his wrongs, falls short. However, that being said, I LMAO at the stuttering antics of James Earl Jones in his little part as the electronics salesman! LOL I heard Jones was actually a stutterer as a child, so wondered if he borrowed from that for this part-?? But other than for that scene, I wouldn't waste my time on this movie, unless you feel the need to have closure and see Williams in his final hours on screen. Mila Kunis, Peter Dinklage and Oscar winner Melissa Leo co-star...
