This is a slender but sweet take on how life, love and loss never go to plan.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 23, 2023

A genial comedy even if it never delivers much of a punch.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 10, 2021

Even if it does not stray too far from the path of what one might expect from this sort of film, it'll still manage to leave smiles on most faces thanks primarily to Johnson, the beating heart of the story, and his wonderful chemistry with Carden.

The film is nothing ground-breaking but it is an enjoyable story and interestingly played out, plus the cabin by the lake views are extremely pleasing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2021

It's a bit indulgent but, still, a gentle watch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 5, 2021

It is a mostly harmless movie with a winsome cast that is not too taxing on your brain and time.

Ride the Eagle is a surprisingly heartfelt slacker comedy whose charms creep up on you.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 22, 2021

When Johnson finds his usual groove - and when the always-impressive Carden is involved as well - Ride the Eagle gathers enough momentum to take flight.

| Sep 12, 2021

For all its vexing story flaws, Ride the Eagle has one major saving grace: it's funny.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2021

Ride The Eagle wants to soar to great heights, but never really takes off.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2021

Ride the Eagle may feel small and intimate in scope but this comedy brings the laughter.

| Aug 12, 2021

It seemed like a pet project of several actors that I really like, and I was more than happy to spend time with them on this slight-but-interesting excursion.

| Aug 11, 2021

Ride the Eagle presents a charming mix of sweet drama and salty comedy in this story that covers the gamut of reconnecting with the past, appreciating the present, and moving forward from regrets in the future.

| Aug 4, 2021

"Eagle" might be modest and simple but it's also rewarding, a gentle comedy-drama about letting go and growing up.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 2, 2021

Doesn't soar to great comedic heights, but it's an easygoing dramedy about reconnecting that's especially timely in the era of COVID.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 31, 2021

Although it traverses a familiar path of forgiveness and reconciliation, this bittersweet comedy finds enough quirky charm to avoid becoming lost in the woods.

| Jul 31, 2021

It's a pretty good, genial, offbeat movie.

| Jul 31, 2021

It's probably best not to think about it too deeply and enjoy the witty dialogue, the gorgeous setting and Johnson's endearing performance.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 30, 2021

A great cast, an unforced tone, and beautiful mountain photography combine to create a film that is unapologetically pleasant.

| Jul 30, 2021

Seldom face to face, the characters still connect in the sweet comedy about a man whose inheritance comes with conditions.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 30, 2021
