Unusual dark and surprisingly meaningful and hilarious

An angry man (you will find out why) finds out he is dying. Robin Williams gives a rounded performance full of drama and humor. Mila Kunis plays his doctor who tries to get him to hospital. There is a journey around Brooklyn as the angry man tries to settle things with his family. It'squite touching and the humor comes unexpectedly. The performances are all good. Mila is endearing as the overwhelmed doctor.

There are some laugh out loud moments especially with James Earl Jones.

Ignore the bad reviews and that it had to go to Video on Demand quickly. This is a funny unusual dark and surprisingly meaningful comedy plus it's one of Robin William's last movies.

Just minutes to go

The film starts with an unconvincing flashback to the late 1980s when Robin Williams (looking old) is with his young kids and happy. We then come to the present day as Williams playing Henry Altmann is stuck in a traffic jam and getting irritated by everything and anything. He gets involved in a motor accident and then gets told by his doctor (Mila Kunis) who herself is having a bad day and getting further upset by Williams that he only has 90 minutes to live.

Williams decides to makes things right with his wife and child but things do not go according to plan which just makes him more angry and upset.

The film is a black comedy and I think the intention was to have some freewheeling lines from Williams about observations regarding anger with humour. However in the context of the film it does not work. His character was a nice family guy, where life has dealt him a bad hand as one of his kids died.

I doubt he is the angriest man in Brooklyn, as he has a family business, seems to have money and getting stuck in traffic in NYC during rush house will make anyone irate.

Williams and Kunis are fine, the screenplay and directing is garbled and unconvincing. Where there should had been tenderness, you get Williams suddenly getting angry because that is the title of the film. It is not really black enough nor is it funny.

Of course as Robin Williams died soon after the film was released, this makes some of the sentiments in this film rather tragic especially as he at one point wants to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge.

It's been plain that in recent years some of his comedy films have been lame and Williams was reduced to cameos and voice overs. He probably mined all that he could do with the dramatic sinister guys he played over a decade ago and this film shows that even Williams talent could not do much with poor material.

A Bad Day in a Bad Movie

SPOILER: The grumpy Henry Altmann (Robin Williams) has been a man full of hatred since his older son died. He goes to the hospital for a medical consultation but his doctor is not in the office and the intern Dr. Sharon Gill (Mila Kunis) comes to see him. She brings his tomography and discloses to him that he has a brain aneurysm. The angry Henry cries out loud at Dr. Gill, who is having a bad day, demanding to know how much time he still has left. Dr. Gill reacts and tells him that he has only 90 minutes. Henry leaves the hospital and decides to make amends with his wife Bette (Melissa Leo), with his brother Aaron (Peter Dinklage) and with his estranged son Tommy (Hamish Linklater). Meanwhile Dr. Gill realizes that she made a huge mistake but soon she is informed how serious Henry's aneurysm is. She decides to seek Henry out on the streets of New York. Will Henry have time to fix his life?

With the sad news Robin Williams was found dead in his home in possible suicide, I decided to see his last feature. "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn" ironically shows the last days of an unpleasant character performed by Robin Williams. Unfortunately it is not a good movie, alternating a few insane moments that become funny and make laugh with a heavy and corny family drama wasting a great cast with Robin Williams, Mila Kunis, Melissa Leo and Peter Dinklage. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "O Que Fazer?" ("What to Do?")
