Exciting world, interesting themes that are still relevant today (0 more)
Some of the talking is painful to read (0 more)
Would be hard to meet expectations
Huckleberry Finn is a story about deciding your values. Mark Twain has a lot to say about everything, from slavery, to how we view adults vs children, to general decency. It's a great read if you want to be challenged on morality and the process of judgement and trust. It is, however, really hard to get through some conversations where half the words have to be taken on context. Being a classic of literature, I had built this up unfairly in my mind, so I had to drop the score assuming you'd do the same.
Would be perfect for anyone learning Southerner though, looking for a cheap immersion course.

I went to see 3 movies this past week, and this film was far and away the best out of the three.
It was very much like a small Huckleberry Finn story. A man with down syndrome runs away from the nursing home he's being kept in to go to wrestling school. That alone was enough to get my butt in the seat. Shia LeBeouf, who is running away from multiple things himself, helps him along the way. It was amusing, and kept me engaged throughout. The length was perfect. The only unnecessary thing was Dakota Johnson's character, but I can see why they included her in the story.

There need to be more original movies like this one. I'm glad my local AMC, that normally only plays mainstream films, had this playing for a week as an 'Artisan' film.
