nodak52 I grew up watching Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, Frank Sinatra and all the greats. For me, this movie touched me in a special way. Growing old, looking back, yearning for the treasures of youth, the mistakes we make, the ones we lost. It hits home. Thank you, Mr. Reynolds. Thank you...

nowego Anyone my age would have grown up watching Burt Reynolds in Deliverance, The Longest Yard, Smokey and the Bandit and Hooper to name a few of the really good movies he made.For me this is up there with the best he has ever made, I went in with a bit of trepidation, not really knowing what to expect considering some of the movies he has been in of late were nothing to write home about. This is not one of them, it is very well done and had me glued to the screen basically from start to finish.Really good backup from Chevy Chase, Clark Duke and a superb performance from Ariel Winter make this a movie worth watching. The chemistry between Burt Reynolds and Ariel Winter makes this one of those movies you have to see more than once. Watching an older, much wiser man whose body has been aged by time and experience conversing with a younger, cockier version of himself was brilliant to watch.I felt all of the cast did a really good job, but this movie definitely belongs to Burt Reynolds, this is Burt at his dramatic best.Without a doubt a movie worth seeing more than once.

chicagopoetry Yeah, okay, I didn't even know the actress was what's her name from Modern Family. She seemed to be representing a stereotypical white trash character with no other purpose but to show her navel. Burt was great of course, because he's Burt. Which makes us wonder if art isn't imitating life or is life imitating art. Pfft.

rickbeesley I'm watching it online - started last night and turned it off. But then tonight I decided to try watching a little more, and I'm really getting to like it. I recommend it, and that you be patient with the first half hour. What's so bad about the start is the geographical screwups: two of the "Nashville" locations just don't feel like Nashville - they feel like Austin. And in one of the Knoxville shots, cut between real Knoxville shots, we get a good long look at a skyline featuring Nashville's iconic L&C sign. Someone should fix that one. But all is forgiven. In the end the little flubs don't matter. Just stick with it - you'll be glad you did.
