Danny Collins - Al Pacino

 I just LOVED this little film!
there is no one who could have made a bigger mess of himself than Pacino playing
concerts to his aging fans, dressed like he's always dressed as a rock star,
and still make you love him.

At his birthday party he is given a letter written to him 
which has only recently been discovered, from John Lennon,
this never-before seen letter
 lights a fire under the aging pop star (Al Pacino) 
who's grown weary of life on the road. 

Inspired by the decades-old missive, 
Danny Collins decamps to the Hilton in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, 
where he sparks with the hotel's manager (Annette Bening) 
while on a mission to reconnect with his son (Bobby Cannavale), whom he's never met,  and daughter-in-law (Jennifer Garner). 
And, a grand-daughter who is a sky-rocket in her own right.

The actors are a cinematic dream team, 
with Pacino and Bening, in particular, 
crafting something lovely and true out of this redemption saga. 
And just when you think you know what's coming next, 
writer/director Dan Fogelman springs a few bittersweet surprises.

It's certainly worth a couple of hours of your time 
and you'll laugh out loud at the situations.
