Danny Collins Reviews

Jan 11, 2025

Nice movie, felt like the end was a bit rushed though.

This is a nice and sweet story well conducted and well acted. One of the best performances of Al Pacino.

It’s a touching story about redemption and second chances, making it an enjoyable watch for those who appreciate character-driven narratives.

I am always curious to see how Pacino delivers in a role that was really not intended for a man of his acting stature. This flick is enjoyable but nothing to ogle over....decent background kind of flick and apparently Pacino used to sing a Ryan Adams tune non-stop on the set.

An entertaing and endearing movie about growing up and moving on. Pacino is back on form here, in a role he has been perfectly cast in.

It's a different role and character for Al Pacino from what the audience got used to, but it still seems as though he was born for it, and this mainly has to do with the fact that his character in Danny Collins is a lot like him in real life. So we're left here with a Pacino movie in appearance and in essence. Of course, there's an all-around great cast next to Pacino and all of them seem to have chemistry with him as well as together. The viewer is also treated to some good comedy and great music, especially from John Lennon's works. All this redeems the slightly mawkish and predictable plot.

Definitely more entertaining just better than Manglehorn and the Humbling, all look alike overall.

Not everything about Danny Collins works. A lot of the dramatic elements fall a little flat, but it is a very enjoyable movie overall. It's fun, can be pretty funny, and is overall pretty heartfelt. It's pretty dependent on the great cast - particularly Pacino.

Just finished watching. I really don't know how I feel about this flick, but I couldn't stop watching it. So I guess it's pretty ok. It's Hollywood schmaltz (Yiddish for overly sentimental). Al Pacino - great. Annette Bening - so so with a wooden performance. Supporting cast - pretty good, not great. Watch it and enjoy and you'll forget the movie in an hour. But watch it.

Danny Collins is better than I expected. The performances are great and it’s a good son father relationship movie in about family. Movie also showed some of the benefits of celebrity status and how they are treated better than every day folks. It just touches the surface but I wish it went more in depth with that subject. Parts of the movie are a little melodramatic in a few slow spots but overall I enjoyed the film especially with an all-star cast.

A coming of age movie for someone who doesn’t meant the normal “coming of age” stereotype. Such a heartwarming comedy with factual context. Loved it!

Great cast and enjoyable story that seemed to still have more to tell, but, finished short

Great inspirational movie. Al Pacino was amazing 👍👍

Horribly boring and stupid! Al Pacino can't sing! Hello? Waste of time! Please shoot me!

Really nice performances by Pacino and Cannavale working nicely with believable story premise.

In 2015 Al Pacino played Danny Collins, a musician whose life was touched by John Lennon. This only happens once in a blue moon. The movie ï¿ 1/2Danny Collinsï¿ 1/2Â? (Não olhe para trás ï¿ 1/2" Netflix) depicts a drama in which Collins had been sinking since the 1970s when he became famous and sex, drugs, money, and parties corrupted him to the extent that it compromised his ability to compose. By the way, this situation was young Collinsï¿ 1/2(TM) biggest fear. And he talked about it during an interview for ZigZag magazine. Well, however, the universe wanted that his great inspiration, the Beatles, would read this news report only before being murdered. John Lennon has written a letter offering Collins help. But Collins came across the unexpected letter only 40 years later Indeed, this letter is real, although Danny Collins is a fictional name for Steve Tilston, an English folk singer and songwriter whose life journey was the base for Dan Fogelman to create exciting redemption story. What would you do if you were Collins or Steve? Collins said that if he had read the letter at that time, he would have called the phone number that Lennon had left at the end. And, perhaps, his art wouldnï¿ 1/2(TM)t have been destroyed by the fame and fortune. Anyway, four decades weren`t able to decrease the deep impact of the figure of a mentor. Collins awakened instantly when his manager gave him the 65th birthday present, the letter written by John Lennon himself. Collins was pulled out of an immense emptiness that was his life. He got rid of drugs, composed new songs, sought for his son ï¿ 1/2" who he had never known ï¿ 1/2" and has won a granddaughter. In this case, the mentor inspired the failed to go back to being a Man who was faithful to himself.

Danny Collins is a movie about an aging pot star who finds inspiration in an old letter from John Lennon and decides to change his life. He goes to New Jersey to meet the Sun he fathered many years before. And begins an odd Romance with a hotel manager played by Annette Bening. Jennifer Garner plays his son's wife. And she's probably the only good thing in the movie. The rest of it plays like a movie of the week. Or Lifetime movie. Low-stakes, and not a lot of true emotion. Many critics seem to love it. But it was hard to get through.
