Better Start Running

Jeremy Irons is ALWAYS excellent, no matter what movie/TV show/play he is in. The rest of the cast is also very good - with the exception of Alex Sharp...he has NO talent whatsoever, is very stiff, his hillbilly accent is ridiculously overdone and he is stupid looking. There are so many other young actors that could have played his part much better and more believably! That being said, the movie is enjoyable! I purchased the DVD because I have all of Jeremy's films on DVD, plus I enjoy watching movies at home rather than in the expensive theaters where I cannot "pause" when I need to. If it weren't for the awful Alex Sharp I would have given this film 10 stars instead of 9.

After I saw what happened (managers death) I figured I wouldn't watch anymore, that it'd be too boring but it was so much more. These characters were perfect. Favorite was their dance conversation. He was so sweet to her. These type of men don't exist anymore. Only on screen.

While I found this movie mildly distracting from the sad remembrances of 9/11, I found it quite astounding that "grandpa" garrison referred to grandma as just another "hole" and he was really in "love" with Mary Linson. Yet, when he travels across the country to finally see his lost love, she doesn,t remember him - at all! He is devastated and we are supposed to understand his pain and feel his angst. Uh, no, how do you like being diminished and marginalized. To Mary, you were just another body part to satisfy her one night, just a notch on her bedpost. Aaahhh, life,s a b*tch that way, isn,t it?!

This movie has really likeable characters. Even the antagonists are likeable. Although unrealistic in its totality, the movie works and keeps the viewer engaged all the way to the end. It has an "indie" vibe all the way through, so expect it and enjoy it. Better Start Running has flavors from some of my favorite movies like Napoleon Dynamite, Little Miss Sunshine, Moonrise Kingdom, and even Kalifornia. If those are in your list of favorites, don't miss this movie!

It's a nice road movie, where the characters don't need to talk much about their past for you to have a perfect idea of their needs and despair. It's also beautiful both in scenery and feelings. Maybe its critics wanted it to be deep enough to drown the viewers in its first 5 minutes or so - it's the only explanation I have for the unjustified low rates.

One of best movies make u travel feel love them,nice music too.

I went into this knowing it would a strange with b list actors and a quirky plot. I came out the end enjoying the ride very much. Even my lady who detests movies like this enjoyed it. The story was fun, the actors meshed well and the comedic moments didn't seem forced. Overall 7.1

It's a warm family story,just they don't relative with each other.

I enjoyed it very much. Very nice, funny and relaxing movie, no annoying characters, you really care about all of them which doesn't happen in so many movies lately.
