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.

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…

gabriel lovedThe Peanut Butter Falcon9.2 « Yo, please don't mess with the Peanut Butter Falcon. » From the very beginning, I knew it was going to be a great film. The way everything is told almost feels perfectly crafted to please, yet I’ve rarely felt this level of authenticity in a movie. Not a single line of dialogue felt…
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? 🟢

Ending wasn’t complete. They travel to Florida with no money and no job?
usopp lovedThe Peanut Butter FalconFun, 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 Falcon
Dieser 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.
Gabe lovedThe Peanut Butter FalconVery heartwarming movie. Loved the unique plot. Many scenes in this movie make you just want to smile with all the silliness and goofiness that makes you think of your childhood a bit.
Melissa Ely lovedThe Peanut Butter FalconThis was a great movie but the ending was so sudden and unexplained it felt like there wasn’t a resolution to the story.

Thoroughly enjoyable!
MBMarcus BanksDefinitely good to see Shia back on the screen. Great cast and the movie is amazing!
SGStacy GarrettSeriously a great flick. I’m a huge fan of LeBeouf and I really enjoyed seeing him take on this role. Rough life but a good heart. It was heartfelt and charming. Maybe a little too harsh of language for some with sensitive ears. But I loved it. Zak made the movie incredible.
