Review of Stand Up Guys

When a movie puts together great actors its usually at the cost of a storyline. The names sell the tickets and you get to see two or three big names on the screen together and behind it is a plot unworthy of them and characters they portray are not something you'd want to see. But this is different. Stand Up Guys is a movie that really focuses on its big names and reminds us why they're big. The storytelling makes them lovable and their jokes are great. There is nothing in this movie that is over the top, nor is there something you'd want to add (maybe, for some). Its a great balance of a real, believable story, fantastic actors portraying very fine characters, a movie worth watching. I enjoyed it very much and although its just the start of the year i know that at the end of the year when i summaries all the movies I've watched, ill be mentioning this one for sure.
