pmomailme-49635 While I was waiting for something to happen I suddenly realized that this is a very nice little human interest story. Walter lost his Dad at a young age and it stunted him emotionally. His gradual realization of what his life is and what it could be is the story. There is some very nice talent with medium and small roles as his parents, psychiatrist, his father's former lover and even the great Jim Gaffigan as the movie theater manager. It is a slow paced feature but Andrew J. West has a lot going on as Walter deals with his unresolved grief for his Dad, his over protective Mom and his strong attraction to Kendall, the popcorn girl at the movie theater where he works. Justin Kirk plays the ghost who haunts him with snarky humor and a dose of reality which serve as the catalyst that Walter desperately needs to wake up and get a life. All in all a surprising and creative little flick that is worth your while if you can live without the usual clichés featured in today's films.
Liam Blackburn What is it.... A comedy?.... Or a drama....pick one. Instead of being one or the other, this ends up being a swing-and-miss by trying to be both. The beginning started out really wishy-washy, but had some funny lines. Even though it began with a funeral scene, you thought that maybe it would grow into an entertaining light hearted funny movie. From death comes rebirth and new life. This did not happen. It started to become more and more dramatic, whilst repeatedly trying to infuse more ill-timed humour here and there. The plot was so obvious about halfway through. The ghost was obviously connected to his own life somehow. Then, if it wasn't enough, the Doctor literally tells us, what the entire problem of the protagonist was---that he didn't grieve. Sometimes it's best to let the audience figure that stuff out by themselves. The movie wasn't serious enough to be a drama, nor was it funny enough to be a comedy. This leaves it in perpetual limbo, much like the existence of the ghost character.
mckinnc I just watched "Walter". It was one of those movies that takes you on a journey. At first I thought it would be a silly comedy, something along the lines of "Ghost Town'or maybe a romcom similar to "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist", or maybe even something quirky like "Drowning Monah". At one point, I even thought it was going to take a "Sixth Sense" turn, but by the end I was pleasantly surprised to see, it went down the path of Eat/Pray/Love. At least three times I thought "I know where this is going now" - when in fact, I did not. Truly an excellent movie. I loved each of the characters (even the minor ones), all of whom with which, I could easily identify. Macy was the icing on the cake. I urge everyone to see it as it will be an award winner I'm sure.
tootsiepop6 I had the thrilling opportunity to see the film "Walter" on January 2 at Palm Springs Film Festival. The movie was amazing. The cast consists of huge name actors: William H Macy, Virginia Madsen, Andrew J West, Neve Campbell, Brian White, Milo Ventimiglia, Jim Gaffigan, Peter Facinelli, etc! The entire cast brings so much to the movie. There is depth and substance to each role. I laughed throughout the movie at its witty lines. I cried when the main character starts going through the grieving process. If you're like me and crave movies that make you feel, then this movie is for you! There has never been a movie like this one. It's truly one of a kind. You must see it!
