The Angriest Man in Brooklyn (2014) – Rewatch

Perpetually angry Robin Williams is told by his stressed and drugged out doctor Mila Kunis that he has ninety minutes to live, so he sets out trying to connect one last time with his family, including wife Melissa Leo and brother Peter Dinklage. Criminally underutilizing its entire cast, except for maybe James Earl Jones in a small role, I had completely forgotten I had already seen the film until the very ending that is memorable for its bizarre wrap-up. Because of the theme of death, it resonates as one of Williams’s last films. Fortunately there are much better choices in his filmography that both showcase his talent and touch on such themes that this one can just be skipped.
