This truly is… One of my favorite films of all time. There are really no words that I can say to qualify that statement, as this movie is so special on so many levels… Whoops, I guess I qualified it… Oh well. Rent, buy (but don't steal) and… ENJOY!! - @Friday, October 31, 2014 2:12 AM

I'm sorry to say I didn't follow Robin Williams but am very sad to hear of his death. He was a phenomenal talent, a great guy who will be sorely missed. Thoughts and prayers to his loved ones. May the Lord have mercy on his soul and may he rest in his gentle peace. - @Friday, August 15, 2014 4:32 AM

Robin was a legend, and this was one of his masterpieces. He had no equal, and could seamlessly flow from comedy to drama in any setting. We lost a legend. - @Tuesday, August 12, 2014 12:10 AM

I hope they tricked some people into seeing this masterpiece with this somewhat misleading light-hearted trailer. MAN, i loved this film. I LIVED this film. I felt the sadness, the depression, the urban decay, the deep love story, the redemption, the manic religious/grandiose/mania... all of that. If there is one movie that summed up my early 20's and shaped my view of the world back then: this is it. - @Monday, March 3, 2014 4:47 AM

Good movie. Jack was a ass. As soon as he got his shit togeether then shee was stupid to take him back - @Monday, November 11, 2013 6:33 AM

NeoXF

Yeah, they do that. I think there's a bigger market for comedy-ish movies than for one concerning sadness and deeper human connections, so they figured, out of the more people that will see it, ones that enjoy subjects such as depression and tragedy will enjoy it, while those who don't... well, they'll at least get their money. - @Tuesday, November 5, 2013 11:04 PM

SirTedFairyspear2

The trailer misrepresents the movie. It appears to be - and was billed as - a "romantic comedy". But it traverses some very dark places, and is best described as a tragi-comedy, filled with symbolism and metaphor. Yet, it's still a love story (a double one) and - spoiler alert - yes, there's a happy ending! One of my favourite films of all time, with brilliant performances by Bridges, Williams, Ruehl and Plummer. - @Saturday, October 12, 2013 7:50 PM
