One star
In this very loud comedy, a disagreeable man (Robin Williams) is falsely diagnosed with a brain aneurysm and given 90 minutes to live. He then sets about righting the many wrongs he has done in one bland and soulless dash through New York’s streets, with little in the way to make you believe in the story, let alone invest in it. Williams does not convince as an angry man, with his intense energy making him look more foolish than sour. Mila Kunis (as his doctor) and Peter Dinklage (as his brother) do their best, but as we race to the inevitable saccharine conclusion, one wonders why we should care about this collision of partially thought-out ideas that the filmmakers have driven forward without making it enjoyable.
