6/10
Two sides of Robin Williams
3 May 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This is a film that stars Robin Williams as Henry Altman and Mila Kunis as Dr. Sharon Gill. Henry is a man that is wrongly diagnosed with only 90 minutes to live by Dr. Gill. He spends that time traveling all over New York City trying to make up for years of self-inflicted problems. Throughout the film we see Henry's character come of age and realize the importance of his personal relationships, as family is one of the only things that we can actually rely on in this life.

As the title insinuates, Henry is a man that struggles with some anger issues. As he is traversing across New York, trying to make amends with his family, we hear many people talk about how much he has changed since the passing of his first son. They show many flashbacks of him throughout the film, many of which he is actually enjoying good times with his family. This is a stark difference from most of the time that we see him, as he hardly ever has a conversation without furiously barraging someone with insults. Henry's character remains the same until a failed suicide attempt, after which, we see a huge change in Henry's personality. Many of the reasons that we loved Robin Williams as an actor start to come out in the end as Henry has a very dynamic role that changes for the better by the end of the film.

By the end of the film, Henry gets to meet up with all of his family and start to makeup for the past years that he has wasted. It is something that everyone can relate to, as it is very easy to get caught up in life and forget what is really important to all of us. In the end family is the only that we can rely on we should all be able to truly appreciate them.
