Let Go

The older I get (I'm 40) and the more I experience of life's highs and lows (more low than high lately), the more I gravitate to these type of quirky, offbeat, indie "dramedies". The stories and characters just feel more real, human, and relateable than most Hollywood stuff. Right up my alley. Its like they opened up a new world to me and made me realize its ok to just be myself, not some "normal", soulless, successful, macho, "alpha male" cliche. Highly flawed but basically good hearted people just trying to do their best, in their own messed up way, to make sense of and survive this Type A, capitalist, Trump-loving society and scary world of "normal" people and "grown-ups" ::shudder::. Sign me up. My kind of people.Related to a bunch of the main characters (I'm an empath). Really don't get all the low ratings I've seen for this film around the web as its legitimately one of the better entries in the indie "dramedy" genre. Unless people watched this not being fans of the genre and not knowing it was this genre. But then how did they find out about it? I've loved this genre for years and only found out about this movie a few months ago. Maybe they watched it for the cast and thought it would be more of a straight up, mainstream comedy? But yeah, I really liked it. All their struggles felt real and I wish one of the characters had gotten a better fate after all they'd been through (no spoilers which). And maybe its just me, but Gillian Jacobs is pretty easy on the eyes :) Anyway, so if anyone out there (of all ages) has ever felt different from the herd, ever felt lost, alienated, or like they don't belong in this world, I'd definitely recommend this movie to you, my fellow misfit and kindred spirit :) If you agree with my review at all, you can mostly find me these days at twitter dot com/ShyLivesMatter Peace :)

This was an awesome movie, I am planning on watching it again soon. I totally took a chance, and was pleasantly surprised. It surpassed my expectations. I especially liked Kevin Hart's role (which I think his acting was impressive since he's only done comedy), but the others were really good also. The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the acting of the female lead role. She wasn't a very good actress, and I think the part could have been done alot better, but because of who the character was, it did work well enough. (The character is a very fake personality, so with this person playing it, the fake-ness was obvious, a little too obvious) But I thought the concept was not extremely original, but really interesting. Over all, a great movie, well done.

Was nothing what I expected - let it Go in the trash!

Ok movie

Wow - this was funny and touching at the same time. I love it when a director takes real life "stuff" that happens to people and portrays it in a new and interesting way. Kevin Hart was great; Ed Asner - fabulous! Glad I rented it.

Great family movie.

Cute

good
