Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
A modern Mark Twain style adventure story, THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON tells the story of Zak (Gottsagen), a young man with Down syndrome, who runs away from a residential nursing home to follow his dream of attending the professional wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). A strange turn of events pairs him on the road with Tyler (LaBeouf), a small time outlaw on the run, who becomes Zak's unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whisky, find God, catch fish, and convince Eleanor (Johnson), a kind nursing home employee charged with Zak's return, to join them on their journey.

the film embodiment of a hug
MurielSep 3, 2020what an utterly beautiful addition to the films that feel like warm hugs cinematic universe
aaronAug 28, 2019if you ask my friends i watched the entire movie looking like that gif of Lenny at the awards show but inside i felt like a nice warm smile come to life! funny and nice and easy in a 2007 indie film kinda way, for better and worse! (give dakota johnson something interesting…

Really charming but also kinda boring with some truly awful shot continuity and confusing character motivations. Also I'm not convinced that Dakota Johnson has ever acted before. Also also, I'm not convinced that Jon Bernthal has ever appeared in a movie for longer than 10…
James (Schaffrillas)Aug 8, 2019On paper, “The Peanut Butter Falcon” sounds like a cursed film; like a straight-faced parody of the quirkiest and most nauseatingly schematic American indies. The title alone takes you back to the awful darkness of “Napoleon Dynamite,” and the premise — a winsome young…

"Friends are the family you choose" I'm going to start this off by saying, everyone that even has a small interest in seeing this, please go out and do so. I drove out an hour to check this out because I think it's important to go out and support films like these…
evan 🍃Oct 1, 2019Manchmal dürfen Filme einfach nur schön sein. Selbst wenn sie vielleicht nicht perfekt sind. Und gerade, wenn ein Cast wie LeBeouf, Johnson, Gottsagen (!), Hawkes, Church & Jake "The Snake" Roberts so gut passt. Eine tränenziehende Südstaaten-Odyssee-Bromance. Mit viel…

Drangsal is "meh" onThe Peanut Butter Falcon🟡Perhaps my cynical heart is just too rotten for this, but this just gave me every cliché trope of a feel-good movie. Therefore, I don't see it as a realistic depiction of the struggles people with disabilities go through. Also, how the hell did he throw that guy in the end? 🟢
Joe is "meh" onThe Peanut Butter FalconEnding wasn’t complete. They travel to Florida with no money and no job?

Fun, freeing, heartwarming, inspiring, fulfilling. Loved this one.
nevaeh lovedThe Peanut Butter Falconi absolutely loved this movie! the story is wholesome and endearing—watching zak thrive outside of the nursing home and live his life to the fullest was so sweet. the romance aspect was fun, and while it could've gone without tyler's head injury, the ending scene was perfect!
Florian is "meh" onThe Peanut Butter FalconDieser Film soll natürlich eine herzerwärmende nahezu Vater-Sohn Geschichte erzählen, die mein Herz aber leider relativ kalt gelassen hat. Ich habe mir etwas mehr von den ganzen positiven Reviews erwartet. Und am Ende is er random stärker als ein Sumo-Ringer.
- Melissa Ely lovedThe Peanut Butter Falcon
This was a great movie but the ending was so sudden and unexplained it felt like there wasn’t a resolution to the story.
duskling dislikedThe Peanut Butter Falconthis was really not good…zak was lovable but the movie feels as though someone wrote it while high

This lovely debut feature by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz trafficks in the pleasure of watching intriguing people working through outlandish problems in unlikely ways. Go in expecting the best and you’ll come out smiling.
