Danny Collins comes from the director who brought you Crazy, Stupid, Love and this movie is another charmer in the same vein. As a truly delightful dramedy that thinks it's much edgier than it is, Danny Collins boasts a fabulous cast with great chemistry which becomes a low stakes tale of living your life the best way you can at any age. Danny Collins (Al Pacino) is a very famous singer who, now in his elder years, has been reduced to singing the same repetitive hits on a tour where the average attendees are 50-60 year old women. When his manager Frank (Christopher Plummer) presents him with a birthday gift of a lost letter written to him from John Lennon almost forty years ago, Danny decides to change his life to the way he thinks it should have been had he gotten that letter originally. This sends him from LA to New Jersey to connect with the grown son he has never met. Pacino is delightful and fun as the eccentric Collins. Danny is a normal man who let fame and money warp him into the typical aging rock star. In a story like this, you would expect someone like Danny to hit rock bottom, lose everything and then have to build himself back up to a better person and artist. This does not happen as Danny never in fact changes at all- he is just as bombastic, oblivious and creatively shallow as ever by the end of the film. But in a monologue given by the almighty Frank Grubman (Plummer) to Danny's estranged son, Danny is full of flaws but he has the best of hearts. Pacino gives a wonderful performance in a role that you can only describe as adorable and wanting him to be your awesome famous uncle. Annette Bening plays Mary, the flustered hotel manager in New Jersey where Danny takes up temporary residence. Pacino and her have an easy and fun chemistry that lights up the screen when they are together. Mary starts out as someone Danny pursues and flirts with to her apprehensive delight, but she soon becomes his moral compass and you realize along with him that he may not be ready, or ever be ready to deserve her. Bobby Cannavale (Win Win) and Jennifer Garner (Dallas Buyers Club) give understated and beautiful performances as Danny's son and his pregnant wife. Both of these actors know how to play the straight to Pacino's Collins while also deep-rooting a sense of humanity in the film. The couple also has an adorable seven year old daughter who has the most sober looking case of ADHD ever seen. Danny Collins wants you to think it is an edgy movie, but it's not. It plays like a family movie and the moral is certainly aimed to that dynamic. If not for the extreme overuse of the f-bomb and the gratuitous female full frontal in the beginning.

First of all, I have to start by saying it felt really weird to see a super saying the movie was "sort of based on a true story". Sorry, but it is either based on true events or it's not. I guess it's only a trick to catch people's attention a little more The movie was OK, but it won't leave a long lasting impression. As for Al Pacino, the guy is an excellent actor, but for him to play a musician on the brink of retirement and to force him to show his singing skills was probably a bit of a mistake. He is such an awful singer that you wonder if the guy is singing or having a heart attack. Either way, it makes you question why they chose him and not someone else for the role I suppose Al Pacino is still Al Pacino. Also, I feel that you never really get the point of the Lennon letter, which is supposed to be central to this movie (Probably the reason why they made a movie only "mildly based" on true events). They had to add a lot of substance to this letter story to turn it into a movie. You could say it is the eye opener that makes Pacino reach out for his son and try to change his empty life around before it's too late. But that in itself makes the letter seem unimportant. Basically, you sense that the same story could have been told without the letter. All in all, a decent movie but I really wonder how long it will stuck to your mind, I give it half a day.

Inspired by the true story of folk singer Steve Tilston, 'Danny Collins' is A Beautiful Film, that offers great emotional depth! And Al Pacino shines in the title role, proving once again that he's among the greatest we've ever had! 'Danny Collins' Synopsis: An aging rock star decides to change his life when he discovers a 40-year-old letter written to him by John Lennon. 'Danny Collins' is at heart, a sensitive father & son story, that's emotionally charged. I was moved & overwhelmed by Danny Collins's journey, not only with his son, but also with his friends, his profession & himself. Its a fascinating character, that's been bought to life, with dexterity. Dan Fogelman's Screenplay is top-class. Its emotional & also humorous. Fogelman's Direction, on the other-hand, is simple, yet effective. Cinematography is good. Editing is consistently crisp. Costume Design is fine. Music by Ryan Adams & Theodore Shapiro is wonderful. Performance-Wise: Pacino is extraordinary as Danny Collins. He sinks his teeth into the part & brings it out with flying colors. Annette Bening is sweet. Bobby Cannavale is in fine form, as well. Jennifer Garner is subdued, while The Great Christopher Plummer is impeccable in his brief bit. On the whole, 'Danny Collins' is a winner all the way! Among the best films from 2015 yet!

I was in two minds as to whether I'd even bother with another Pacino film. He's been involved in a quite a few mediocre movies recently and I'd made a mental note to try and avoid them. However, I found plot summary of this movie quite intriguing and thought I'd give it a go. Incredibly this is one of his best films and I really enjoyed it from the start to the credits. Danny Collins has lived a hedonistic, excessive lifestyle for decades, but a surprising event causes him to look at his life and he makes substantial efforts to change and even to mend relationships. His quest may not be easy or faultless but it is still very satisfying. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

AL pacino look like Mature and very impressed Actor all time. I have seen his acting as like as much Robert Downey Jr.

The first few minutes of this film were interesting enough to capture my attention, but then it rapidly became dull. Pacino was unconvincing as a rock star, even a sort of sleazy Neil Diamond-ish or Paul Anka-ish type. I didn't find much wrong with his acting, just his casting. The other actors were all great, especially Annette Benning, but the story line was uninteresting and clichéd. It seemed much longer than the 106 minute run-time and near the end I was just hoping it would be over soon. Nothing terribly wrong with this movie, but nothing terribly right, either. It didn't delight or excite, I didn't learn anything new, I wasn't moved by it.

Danny Collins is a 2015 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Dan Fogelman and making his directorial debut. The movie is inspired by the true story of folk singer Steve Tilston. The film stars Al Pacino, while Annette Bening, Jennifer Garner, Bobby Cannavale, Melissa Benoist and Christopher Plummer appear in the film as supporting actors. While Al Pacino was nominated for a Golden Globe at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards for his acting for the first time since 1993's The Scent of a Woman, he also won his nomination for the Musical or Comedy category, most recently in 1982's Author! Author! With the movie. He's integrated with the role of Al Pacino. John Lenon songs gave a different flavor to the film. The fast pace of the movie sometimes makes it difficult for you to connect emotionally with the script, but the movie still catches you.

After getting a scribble from John Lennon an ageing rock star - he is more like a TomJones- sets things right. I hoped for a This must be The Place but it is not anywhere close. Really, another rock star getting in touch with his lost son, seriously. Nothing about this celebrity feel good movie is only remotely new or interesting. Al Pacino is far too fabulous for this part and the story is by far too sweet and full, to the brim, with clichés. It must have been a xmas movie. It also features the most irritating child since Makauley Culkin in Home Alone. I watched Manglehorn earlier this weeks which rates about 2 full points lower but is about 150% better. It is not Pacinos fault, the man is a god and he would rock even in an airline safety video. I give it a 10 for Pacino but a 3 for the script.

I have not seen such a good movie since the Intouchables. There is a big heart in this movie, action is not fast but it is focused on what it important in life and that it is never too late to be yourself and stop pretending someone else. I love the fact that Danny, after receiving letter from J Lennon, remembered who he always wanted to be and how he lost the track in his life. He realized he lived a miserable, full of .... life, and he dropped it in one second, did not turned around. I smiled a lot while watching this movie.Al is a truly great actor. Annette Benning's character is also very good.J Garner cute as always.
