I loved the movie, slow pace and strong script makes it worth while watching. I guess this movie gets enough appreciation if it is released now(2020). It'll touch your heart ❤️

This movie is so worth the $2.99!!!! Way beyond the reviews for sure...

Koskettava ja todentuntuinen draama, tykkäsin! (Suom. Duane Hopwood - Vastamäessä)

almost no action but lots of feelings..

i mean i dont know what to say about the movies , this really is one of the carrer-turning perfomance of david schwimmer and nice effort by mulhern , that is really one of the best movies i have seen

It's an indie flick that If I were an actor, would wish every other independent movie would turn out like and would be so worth my time filming in between big money motion picture deals. Such a real performance by David Schwimmer along with an authentic plot that could only be written by someone who has been there and done that. This indie picture is worth it and was a solid effort by everyone involved.

Watchable. Schwimmer's acting was terrific, he was very believable. It wasn't difficult for him to make me laugh either when appropriate as I'm a HUGE Ross Gellar fan. Decent movie, just didn't like ending. The ending was realistic and believable, but when it ended I was like "what's the point?"

depression --- sad men men don't and can't cry indeed this movie not good to be watched you will feel v awful i felt like him ---

almost no action but lots of feelings..

Schwimmer är kanonbra, Garofalo är snygg! Revenge of the nerds!

For Fans Of: Miscasts, Drunk Dads, Sad bastards Date Night: No Art Factor: None Fun Factor: Low Emotional Factor: Low Intelligence Required: None Essential Viewing: No I did not have high expectations going into this one. That is a good thing. Schwimmer, of Ross Gellar fame, plays a down on his luck drunken dad. Now, just picture pretty much every cliche you can that should be in this film and apply. The ending, was the only part not a filmed cliche and for that this film earned back a bit of respect from me. David Schwimmer is not a terrible actor, he just isn't a great one and this role really need a better than good one. Judah Friedlander has a small role that is pretty unmemorable as is a pre Office fame John Krasinski. The latter plays an athletic Jersey type guy. Miscast much? Janeane Garofalo does however give one of the better performances of here pretty much non existant career. Direction wise it looks like a well shot hallmark. Nothing flashy, but nothing wrong. That right there knd of sums up the score on this one. Nothing flashy, nothing wrong. Very middling.

best performance of david schwimmer...

DAVID SCHWIMMER, JANEANE GAROFALO, JUDAH FRIEDLANDER, JOHN KRASINSKI, STEVE SCHIRRIPA David Schwimmer stars as Duane Hopwood, a down-on-his-luck divorced father who works the night shift as a pit boss at Caesars Palace in Atlantic City. Heartsick about the demise of his marriage to Linda (Janeane Garofolo), Duane does nothing much in his daily life but work and drink. When his visitation rights are threatened after he's caught driving while intoxicated with his daughter in the backseat, Duane confronts the realization that the time has come to get his life back on track before he loses everything. There are a lot of mixed reviews on this movie. I happened to like it. I wouldn't say enjoy, cause the movie is depressing and sad. But David Schwimmer is really, really, really good in this movie. He blew me away with his performance. First movie I have ever seen him in, and I will admit I was afraid I couldn't separate him from his character 'Ross' from the t.v. show 'Friends'. But there was no "Ross" in his performance. He was great. It's a very real, raw, and honest movie. Definitely not your feel good type movie. But one that will have you sympathizing with the characters, or even relating to them. The ending is bitter sweet. This story might touch home for a lot of people. It's a well done movie and I hope more people see it.

a realistic and effective portrayal of alcoholism, as in "Friends" Schwimmer plays drunk very well, realistic and entertaining. The movie suffers only from a bit of predictability and bad taste from the direction.

If your having trouble sleeping then watch this movie

4 stars for David Schwimmer for givnig a phenomenal performance and proving to me that he will not come off "Ross-like" in other roles. Half a star for using a Ben Folds song in the soundtrack.

Duane Hopwood is a very small indie film from a few years back, if you can find it to rent/buy - it is incredible! A powerfully real story that is simple, true and provides David Schwimmer the performance of his life! Seriously, he should have been nominated for an Oscar that year.

David Schwimmer can act, who knew?

This movie was okay. It tried to be a tragedy with a silver lining. The problem was that the comic relief wasn't funny so you became numb to the sadness, remorse, regret, self loathing and what not that was the main stay to the rest of the movie. David Schwimmer did a pretty decent job. He fit well for the role. Janeane Garofalo was good. I think this is the skinniest I have ever seen her. Bleach bottle blond too... It was weird.

It's ok but I hate the ending so much!!! I hate the feeling that breaking up. I'm sure there must be something to help things work out!
