Going In Style (Zach Braff, April 7, 2017) Movie

A reboot of the 1979 movie. Three seniors living social security check to check decide they have had enough. So, they plan to rob a bank.

Directed by Zach Braff and starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Alan Arkin, Joey King, Matt Dillon and Ann-Margret.

 

After Wish I Was Here, there's nowhere to go but up.

 

It's like "Old Dogs 2: Hell or High Water"

You have to spell it right!

I cannot even recall a bad scene from the last one. It is not that it wasn't bad; it was a disaster. It must be similar to the way people repress trauma. It had one of the worst messages of any movie I have ever seen though: being a responsible father is for suckers when you can let your wife work as you try to become an actor.

 

Had no idea Zach Braff directed this

 

Nor did I. Paycheck, perhaps?

 

After the ridiculous and hilariously inept mess that Wish I Was Here was, working on a conventional script within the confines of a studio will probably help him.

 

Him crowd funding that movie was so tone deaf

 

Wish we could go back and see the old AP thread for that movie haha

 

I don't have too much of a problem with him crowdfunding, if people want to pay to help create a Zach Braff film... sure, go ahead. But he acknowledged that he actually would have been able to secure funding, he'd just have to give up control. And he's not fuckin Malick or Scorsese, it's not like his movie was gonna cost $100 million, a version of that movie where he would have had some pushback would probably have been better than an unrestrained Zach Braff vision.

It's more insulting that Spike Lee had to turn to crowdfunding. Really? A studio/studios were willing to back Zach Braff, but were trepidatious about Spike Lee??

 

Looks like Spike Lee hasn't had a financially successful film since Inside Man, which is really sad. Garden State did well, though.

 

Yeah it's sad that Charlie Kaufman can't get a movie funded

 

Thank goodness for A24, Plan B, and HanWay.

 

It is fun and easy to make fun of Wish I Was Here, but never let Garden State off the hook.

 

Thread about what I expected it to be.
