I was expecting more of a drama, but it's just a straight up comedy. And while it did manage to get a few yucks out of me, overall it's really just the most bland and generic execution they could have come through with for this great premise. Sad that among all these veteran actors, Zach Braff is the best part of the movie. Not to mention Red Letter Media did this exact premise 15 years ago!

I had my doubts about this despite the amazing cast but "The Comeback Trail" is actually pretty fun. The laughs aren't as consistent as I would've liked and I do wish it took it's great premise a little further, this still moves by at a great pace, contains quite a few laughs and has solid performances from the entire cast namely, Robert De Niro. Pretty slight but it's a breezy and fun satire.

Never quite as funny or clever as It thinks it is but seeing Robert De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones and Morgan Freeman all clearly having a lot of fun won me over in the end. This isn’t great but it’s pretty funny and it moves along really smoothly. It feels like if this had a little more money behind it, it could’ve really been something special or at least do a bit more with the premise.

the cgi made me think they were legit trying to make the movie that they were making in the movie

I'm not sure what the general consensus is going to be on this one, seeing as how I think I'm the first to review this on Letterboxd, but I had a good time with The Comeback Trail. It doesn't always work, as there are some jokes that fall incredibly flat, and the plot is pretty predictable with no surprises, but I went into this just wanting an entertaining comedy, and that's what I got for the most part. There are some solid laughs to be had here, and the entire cast turns in good work, with Robert De Niro and Tommy Lee Jones being the standouts for me. It's a nice love letter to filmmaking, and I enjoyed my time with it. It's a fast-paced, entertaining film that even gave me a solid laugh or two. There's nothing particularly special here, but it's a fun time nonetheless.
GRADE: B-

"Let me die!"-Robert De Niro

Possibly the best movie I've ever seen where Robert De Niro resorts to increasingly complicated plots to murder Tommy Lee Jones in order to pay off his debt to Morgan Freeman

2/5 stars

george gallo does not know how movies are made. 

this almost beat venom as the worst movie i’ve ever seen in a cinema

Movie was so bad we walked out halfway through

And the 30 seconds I watched on tenet in the other cinema was better than this entire movie

The comeback trail is a decent movie and a pretty good way to pass an hour and a half. The movie had some very funny moments especially involving Robert De Niro and Zach Braffs charecters. I thought the movies first was actually really enjoyable as it had some very funny moments but in the second half I started to lose a bit of intrest as I found it not as funny as the opening half and I also found it quite predictable.

I recomend not rushing out to see this and just wait for it to become availble to rent or to stream

Holy crap, it’s so easy to compare this to The Producers, but damn if it doesn’t look like a good time. Excited for this one.

I don’t know if I have the right to review this as it was so shit i left the cinema halfway through and went into another movie. It felt like they were inspired by once upon a time in Hollywood but got it all wrong. 

So many great actors. Such a waste of potential.

Watching this felt like eating dry crackers.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Eine richtig lustige Komödie. Haben wir in der Sneak Preview gesehen, und hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Der Film ist stellenweise einfach total bescheuert. :D

simplemente una d las películas q más me ha gustado d todo el año es q es graciosísima y las películas q te juntan a viejas glorias d hollywood haciendo lo q les da la gana en pantalla es mi genero favorito

better than i expected somehow lmao

(Подобаващо) откриване на сезона.

Go grandpa go

Super meh

Heredera directa de la remarcable "Bowfinger" (Frank Oz, 1999), "The Comeback Trailer" sitúa su acción en el Hollywood de los años 70. A pesar de partir de la idea de un productor de películas de bajo presupuesto, la película (por desgracia), descarta transitar un camino que la lleve más por "Ed Wood" y neutraliza demasiado un rodaje en ese Hollywood dorado. Y en lugar de jugar con un rodaje accidentado, lo lleva más por los derroteros del Coyote y el Correcaminos, en un tono de comedia más blanco de lo que podría haber dado de sí. Pese a todo ello, se trata de una película divertida, con momentos emotivos que nos hacen recordar el amor por el cine, y con un trío de viejas glorias que no decepcionan.

CINEMA CATALUNYA. Amb la Tere.
Tot i que hem rigut a moments, la peli no m'ha agradat massa jj tiraven com de un humor stranyament semblant al de les pelicules de comedia brossa espanyoles. :( una mica decepcionant tenint en compte el super reparto k hi ha pero...

??

uhhhh honestly I'm so confused. Is this a spaghetti western? nope. is it an inside joke? maybe>? good acting though, but I was never one for the film within a film plots. I no like.
