The Peanut Butter Falcon

The Peanut Butter Falcon is a sweet, tender and joyful portrayal of an unlikely friendship, and it won't fail to charm.

What follows could be a bit corny. Indeed it is a bit corny, and that is part of its charm. Life is a bit corny too.

As calculated as the film might be, it's hard to dislike. And while Nilson and Schwartz use Gottsagen's sincerity as a guarantee of their own good intentions, this never feels as exploitative as it might have.

You know where you are, you can feel the location...really atmospheric with a lovely story.

Perhaps against the odds, this shambling buddy movie really works.

Like a Disney family drama from TV times past, this feelgood road movie is so homely, so warm and fuzzy, and so darn wholesome that it's almost too much.

Zack Gottsagen is warm and hilarious as Zak. His personality dominates the screen. Likewise, LeBeouf feeds into Gottsagen’s charm and plays Tyler as understated and confident.

The cast are on their A game, with what could be my favorite performance from Shia LaBeouf and Dakota Johnson. But the reason to see this film is for Zach Gottsagen’s lead performance.

Shia LaBeouf shines as the angst-ridden antihero. He fully inhabits the character of Tyler, handling crab nets like a pro – the byproduct of crabbing for an entire month prior to filming.

A tender and often funny heartwarmer with loads of charm, personality, and humanity.
