In the Peanut Butter Falcon, Tyler and Zack are two very different guys who runaway from their lives for two very different reasons: One misdirected his anger and pissed off a very violent man, the other wants to get out of the nursing home he's been dumped in and learn how to wrestle. They manage to find each other and form a bond. A third party, Eleanor, who was searching for Zack in order to return him to the nursing home is cajoled into joining them and their bond grows stronger. It is a heartfelt friendship story that dives just deep enough into each player's history to reveal skeletons, but to not bog you down with cobwebs.
Shia LaBeouf and Dakota Johnson act alongside first time actor, Zack Gottsagen, with appearances by Bruce Dern, John Hawkes, and Thomas Haden Church. Nothing fancy here, just good movie stuff.
I would recommend it and re-watch it, so I'll give it three stars ***.
I checked the DVD out from the library and have kept it hostage during the closure of March 2020. I watched the movie back then, but I just watched it again so I can write my review.

Movie: The Photograph (2020) ****
Afro bubble gum romance at its best. A reporter stumbles upon the lost story of a photographer and in writing about her finds a love interest. They struggle with honesty and being there and their struggles parallel the life of the photographer. This is one of those romances you can watch over and over. The writing takes romance in a different direction by doing a study in honest dating. The acting was authentic. I liked all the characters. I wanted to hang out with them, sip a good rum and listen to music. The soundtrack was unobtrusive, but mood-perfect.
It was so comfortable and comforting and I would recommend this to so many people. I’ll give The Photograph four stars****
