Best movie of this year hands down!

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie's timeline lost 20 years somewhere - a hole bigger than any in Back To The Future. The movie was made in 2016 and was set in the present, featuring cell phones and mentioning Google, the closing of CBGBs (2006), and the death of Lou Reed (2013). One character says he's 22 years old. So that means he couldn't have been born before 1991, although I'd place it more like 1995. But then we learn from the character of his father, who looks every bit as old as the 68 years the actor was in filming, that his son was conceived when the father was a young man, back in the hippie days, listening to Simon & Garfunkel records. Simon & Garfunkel split up in 1970, when the actor playing the father was 21 years old. It all makes sense except for the fact that the son is supposed to be 22. The son should have been more like 45. Or the entire movie should have taken place circa 1995. And the character of the young girlfriend was so overweight and unattractive as to strain credibility. Bad casting there. Overall, the movie was innocuous and vapid.

What you need to know from me is simple: it's perfectly acted it's well written well cast, oh so well cast the first movie i've seen where new york matters without being involved in the plot the rest is personal, if you don't like it you don't care about the content of it. It's proficient on every level, and it's weirdly and randomly relevant to me. You don't know me, so give it a watch in case it's the same for you.

Adrift in New York City, a recent college graduate's life is upended by his father's mistress. The Only Living Boy in New York is Marc Webb's 2nd film this year after the amazing The Gifted Starring Chris Evans and unfortunately it's a disappointment from the acting to the characters themselves especially the romance between Beckinsale and Turner felt forced and not even realistic. The acting from everyone was also disappointing with the dialogue being the biggest problem and the main character was kinda uninteresting as well. Overall this was a big disappointment and with a cast like that i was expecting much but i didn't get either. (0/10)

My girlfriend dragged me to the cinema to see this flick, and when she fell asleep after 15 minutes, and despite not being a drinker, I wish I had smuggled in more than one beer. Like most films and series it is set in a fantasy world most of us don't have access to. A boy who's biggest problem seems to be getting away from his loaded dad and depressed 'don't know what to do with my free time' mother, and which woman to pursue. The stunningly beautiful one, or the stunningly beautiful one. Granted, I'm simplifying, and the story does build, but I just cannot fake any interest in these type of ivory tower characters anymore.
