Leave your thoughts about The Angriest Man in Brooklyn.
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiThere's a rarely dramatized but profoundly understandable emotion that The Angriest Man in Brooklyn conveys: the anticipation of regret. |
| NerdistWitney SeiboldPhil Alden Robinson's film starts as a caustic comedy, and becomes a teary, life-affirming, and sentimental journey of a dying dad. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerAs broad as Williams goes in these scenes, it’s not really his fault. He’s acting out a screenplay, credited to Daniel Taplitz, that’s peppered with bad writerly flourishes. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfBrooklyn isn't heartbreaking, heartwarming, or funny. Instead, it's unbelievably awkward, and when it isn't artificial it's wrongheaded. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA painfully melodramatic, over-the-top comedy-drama without subtlety, effective humor, or credibility. |
| Examiner.comJeff Beck"The Angriest Man in Brooklyn" is a film that's never sure which way it wants to lean, leading to a very confused tone for a movie that has nothing original to offer in its cliché-filled storyline. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanTonally and creatively messy, and filled with entirely too much shouting. In the case of "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn," less would have been much, much more. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThe cast is directed to often scream at each other at the top of their lungs, making the would-be comic material all bark with little-to-no bite. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashThe message of the movie is not to waste the time you're given. That includes watching movies as bad as this one. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonThe movie feels more like it's stalling for time rather than filling itself with humanity and redemption. |
