Dog Years

Quite honestly I was prepared to dislike this movie. I couldn't pin down exactly why but was I very wrong. I was extremely touched with this thought provoking look at celebrity and age. I have not seen any actor portray their aging with such honesty in their later movies. Reynolds was fabulous and still as blunt and straight forward in his approach to the part as he has before in most of his movies. Ariel Winter, whose character I detested at the beginning, did an excellent job as Reynolds escort at a film festival in Nashville. His life story was a learning experience for her and a teaching lesson on how growing older comes with trials, tribulations, and regrets which she could learn from as she goes on with her own life. Wonderful acting by both, and a must see movie. Simply put, I think it's the best work Reynolds has ever done.

RIP Burt Reynolds. Watched Smokey & the Bandit last night then saw The Last Movie Star tonight. Wow was not expecting the rush of emotions, the laughter, reminiscence and enjoyment I would get. Is this movie ironic? Maybe. It was well done, and the timing is chilling. If you grew up appreciating good old fashioned, twinkle in the eye, tongue in cheek movie stars, you'll truly appreciate everything this movie encompasses. Didn't know much about Ariel Winter but you pull for her character to get to where she ends up in this movie. I hope you enjoy this, raise a glass and give a fond farewell to a really flawed, yet truly decent dude.

I watched the movie with my elderly parents and all 3 of us really enjoyed this movie. It is a role only Burt Reynolds could do. Good acting. It was heart warming and had good comedy to it. Reflection of a life time with a very entertaining way of telling the story.

This smartly written, emotional rollercoaster masterpiece by Adam Rifkin showcases Burt Reynolds acting at his best. Burt's genuine vulnerability and charisma pops off the screen and into your heart. You cannot help but love the movie and Burt. It's incredible!

Burt Reynolds plays a version of himself (he even interacts with his old movies) and the film delivers not only huge laughs but also has an emotional center that at times make you hate then love the main character in the span of a few seconds.

In this film an older actor is invited to a film festival to pick up his life achievement award. This prompts him to do some serious soul searching. Along the way he realizes how lucky he was and most of see the errors of his life.

Well worth seeing.
