That about covers it. Except for boring and stupid. Another cheap shot at white middle America. Are we getting sick of movie after movie written by dumbass Hollywood writers that seem to think that white middle Americans are the cause of all the problems of society. Here's a clue, guys. There may be a few families like the cliches here, but there are millions of well-adjusted happy normal families living in suburbs everywhere. The notion that you have to be a foul mouth tattood outcast of society to be a real person is really getting old. Besides the fact that it's complete b*******.

At first this movies lifts one's expectations. It could have been a great portrait of a straight talking slightly bewildered man (Harrelson is quite good). Then that focus is lost. But replaced with another dynamic that quickly grabs the attention - the story wanders unexpectedly, but in a good way. The middle part I watched mostly to see where the makers can take this story. And every turn was well within the logic of the story, well within the foundations laid down at the start for the characters and the spaces they move in. Then it suddenly becomes silly and sentimental. And ends. Did they run out of time and decide to quickly end this little money spinner? Did they grow bored? Pity. It could have been a much better movie. As it is there are much better ones to watch today.

Its another trite, half-baked, poorly conceived/written film from the Hollywood hopper. The 2010s will surely go down as the lowest point in cinematic history. A time when PC trumped art, so we're fed this sort of garbage.Here, we're given Wilson, an earnest, overly-honest, kind hearted ne'er-do-well who is misunderstood in today's cruel world. Perhaps, he's of a different time? Its trite to the gills, ala Garp, Gump, etc. The problem is that the character as portrayed, is simply someone that I could care less about and would go out of my way to avoid. He's the guy that comes up to you in public and starts hassling you for no reason, or the guy that approaches you at the urinal in the men's room. Or the guy that seeks out his adopted child that he had with a crack whore 17 years ago.There are damn good reasons why this behavior is considered undesirable. There are social barriers and norms that exist for all of our protection.Woody Harrelson is miscast here, although I'm not sure there's an actor alive that could make this palatable. Laura Dern, a fine actor, is wasted. The rest of the cast is forgettable.To put the cherry on top of this excrement, Wilson becomes a hipster and lives happily ever after.Are there misunderstood gems like Wilson out in the world? If so, they belong in prison.

My wife and I watched this at home on BluRay, picture and sound are great, "extras" are minimal.I like Woody Harrelson as an actor, but many of his roles are for unlikable characters. I had hoped his role as the protagonist, Wilson, would be a favorable one. It isn't.As it starts out we see Wilson is bright but socially awkward, whether it is among relatives, friends, or strangers he has a knack for saying the wrong thing. He smiles, he seems oblivious to how he comes across.Add to that his dirty mouth, while a bit of foul language can be appropriate, adding a spice to the character, listening to him is like trying to eat a steak with way too much pepper on it. You soon lose track of the character and just cringe at his foul language. Add to that as the story moves along several other characters, including his ex-wife and his long-lost 17-yr-old daughter, are scripted with extremely filthy language.This could have been a good movie, the characters could have been developed without so much emphasis on filthy language. But lazy script writers rely on this trick, it is an attempt to mask their lazy writing.
