Featured reviews
A stale relationship between a father and son for longer than a decade comes to an understanding and final conclusion during a road trip from New York to Kansas to develop the last roles of Kodachrome 35 mm film. Enjoyable story.
The storyline was honest. You can't go wrong with Ed Harris. Dialogue was clever and at moments, profound.
With the exception of the father and son, depth of the other characters were lacking though they all had a role to play.
Editing moved it along. Cinematography quite good and appropriate. Music matched the tone; understated. Excellent sound and direction very good given the parameters.
The photos shone brilliantly to the contrast of the film. Perhaps that was the subtext of the father and the real point of Kodachrome. Sometimes you get what you see only at the end of the roll..

Why in gods name you people have to be so damn hard,it was a nice movie,Harris was really good,Sudeikis too it was a brilliant soundtrack and two men on a road trip trying to finally understand each other before one of them is gone so the other can move on...Get a grip to reality you little babies....
A man out of luck in his job at a recordlabel is surprised at work by his father's nurse. She tells him his father is dying and wants to take one last trip to Kansas to get his remaining kodachrome photo's developed. Needless to say the son is less than excited to go on a trip with his bad-tempered dad but he does it anyway. Though fairly predictable this is an enjoyable movie. The leads, Jason Sudeikis, Ed Harris and Elisabeth Olsen give fine performances. Especially Sudeikis excells in a role you don't really expect from him. The movie has a nice soundtrack and is nicely shot. Recommended

- GoofsThe drum kit Ben plays is too new to have belonged to Matt like Ben says. Those two haven't even seen each other for at least ten years, but the Sonor Vintage Series drum kit came on the market in 2015.
- Crazy creditsAfter initial credits roll (featuring photographer Steve McCurry's real-life last Kodachrome photos)...after the photos, and before the main movie credits, a black screen with "Shot on 35mm Kodak Film" is featured.
