Get Low (2009)
6/10
Isn't Breathtaking or Intriguing but Good while it Lasts,

Get Low is a decent movie with a well developed storyline and a talented cast.Its enjoyable,it is certainly nothing breathtaking that lifted my spirits after watching it or gave me any of those good feelings after watching a well written drama,I think it could have had more scenes where the characters get very serious and personal with each other,it certainly would have helped the performance,I felt like Robert Duvall easily could have gotten an Oscar nomination for this character that didn't seem easy to play,but the fact that there just aren't enough scenes were he can really embrace himself is a problem.Duvall and Bill Murray are certainly the right casting choice,they are both characters that didn't seem very easy to portray as likable,but getting those two to play them made it a safe bet,Felix is an arrogant man the minute we see him,but because he's played by such a beloved actor we give him the benefit of the doubt and the fact that they're played by two actors that can do that really helped this movie.Its nothing outstanding,I probably won't see it again,but Get Low is unique and enjoyable enough to for me to say that it is worth a watch if you ever see it on television,it's short,sweet and you won't regret it.

A mysterious hermit decides to host his own funeral,while people struggle to distinguish the truth about him.
