Allan Michael Keaton stars in Goodrich
0:07
tell us the story of Goodrich it's
0:09
directed by Haley Meers Shire yeah so
0:13
this is the story of the Goodrich Tire
0:17
Empire uh IA go no I'm not uh Andy is
0:21
Andy is by the way it's it's not it's a
0:25
man named goodr who owns an art gallery
0:28
okay we go so Andy is played by Michael
0:30
Keaton he is a art dealer who wakes up
0:33
one morning to find out that his wife
0:35
has checked herself into rehab which
0:37
kind of explains the the entire movie
0:40
here's a guy who is so involved in his
0:42
work uh so o things around him that he
0:45
didn't even know a his wife had a drug
0:48
addiction and B his wife had just
0:50
checked herself into into rehab so uh
0:54
the wife is in rehab for 90 days that
0:56
means he has to take care of everything
0:57
he has to take care of his uh two uh
1:00
9-year-old twins uh he also has to take
1:03
care of his 37y old
1:05
daughter uh who needs help uh just doing
1:08
pregnant women stuff um and uh and uh
1:13
also he has a a gallery an art gallery
1:16
that is failing uh clients are leaving
1:18
him uh and uh it's just not doing well
1:21
he it the rent is too expensive they
1:23
want him to move or shut down the the
1:25
gallery and so he's on this last final
1:28
pitch to find the exhibit that will help
1:30
save his business uh so along the way he
1:34
um he basically uh realizes how much of
1:37
a sucky dad and husband he's been and he
1:40
kind of goes on this journey to uh earn
1:42
back the
1:43
respect of uh of his of the women in his
1:46
life and that's what this movie is um I
1:50
will say this movie is two hours long
1:52
and it's half an hour too long uh it for
1:56
me uh you know the movie mov that we
2:00
like the reason why we like some movies
2:02
that people like and other movies we
2:04
don't like is because at some point in
2:06
this movie there there needs to be some
2:08
kind of a connection Point uh some point
2:11
in this movie that that you as the
2:12
viewer can and um halfway through this
2:16
movie I was like this is just really
2:18
boring and Bland and it really wasn't
2:20
until the end closer to the end of the
2:22
movie that I started connecting with the
2:24
character of of Andy here uh he's a guy
2:28
who um who keeps his emotions close to
2:31
the to his vest uh he's a guy who is
2:34
super he's super positive when it comes
2:36
to the people in his life but so much so
2:38
that his positivity has a way of
2:41
disconnecting himself emotionally from
2:43
from the people in his life and uh and
2:46
here's a guy who uh keeps it all in and
2:49
as His World falls apart around him uh
2:53
he refuses to accept the realities uh of
2:56
what's Happening uh and weirdly enough I
2:58
found myself
3:00
you know uh feeling familiar with this
3:02
kind of person being I did too Allan I
3:06
did too I felt very much and I'll say
3:09
about the movie you're on the right
3:11
track with this thing it's a drama I
3:13
love Michael Keaton he is I can't
3:16
believe this is the same guy who played
3:18
Beetlejuice like a month ago right he's
3:21
in Beetlejuice he's in this he's amazing
3:24
great actors it reminds me of a 70s
3:27
family drama that takes place over
3:30
several months with dramatic things
3:32
happening takes place over three months
3:35
um his wife's in rehab but the movie is
3:38
written and directed by a woman and it's
3:41
all about how this lead character this
3:44
male the patriarch of the family has
3:47
failed them all and how he's no matter
3:50
how much how hard he tries to be the
3:52
good man good Rich right he's a failure
3:57
in in failing to meet their needs and he
4:02
he thinks maybe too much about himself
4:04
and not about the women in his life I'll
4:06
say it did I'll say as much as I'm mixed
4:09
on this movie it got me the relationship
4:12
with him and his older daughter and
4:14
going through her
4:16
pregnancy nunis is amazing yeah there
4:20
there's a moment at the end where you
4:21
know obviously in a movie like this uh
4:24
things come to a head and she goes off
4:26
on him and is the best scene in this
4:28
movie is the most emotionally honest
4:31
moment in this movie and honestly this
4:34
this moment in the movie is the single
4:36
reason for me for you to watch this
4:38
movie yeah it is I'll say I get to Bare
4:40
recommend because of that because that
4:42
scene it's all the confusing emotions
4:45
about a fatherdaughter relationship and
4:48
the fact that he's juggling kind of two
4:50
families he has the new wife younger
4:53
wife with the nine-year-old Twins and he
4:55
juggles that being the good dad by the
4:57
way the young girl in in this
5:01
movie you might recognize her she played
5:05
uh Princess
5:07
Leia in the Obi-Wan series and she is
5:11
phenomenal in this and she was terrible
5:15
in Obi-Wan so the young girl I can't I
5:18
don't know her name it's I'll find it
5:21
but she is great she's so clever and
5:25
funny and witty and honest and that like
5:28
there are a lot of character moments
5:30
that really worked for me which is why
5:32
this gets kind of a bare recommend
5:34
there's also Michael Keaton who's so
5:36
good and it's a kind of movie they don't
5:38
make anymore they don't make like just a
5:42
solid family drama right and so for that
5:47
I I I really commend it but as you said
5:50
probably a half hour too long um there's
5:54
some an hour it's an hour 50 minutes and
5:56
that Muna scene happens probably at the
5:59
hour 35 minute Mark yeah it could have
6:03
been shorter but I'll say this
6:05
phenomenal phenomenal uh performance by
6:08
Millie Kunis all the actors so and then
6:12
like you forget that Keaton can do this
6:14
and they try to get this movie made for
6:17
years years this movie was like sat
6:20
around forever trying to get it funded
6:23
because it's not a superhero movie not a
6:26
bunch of special effects it's just a
6:30
family drama and um I I will give it up
6:34
for just I did get choked up and Al also
6:37
I got choked up during a couple parts
6:39
but I'll say the the humor is very good
6:42
and it feels very real so a bare
6:44
recommend from me what about you Allan
6:46
uh not a recommend for me I think uh
6:49
like I said I found a connection point
6:51
but I feel like I'm the only one who
6:53
really about that connection connection
6:55
point I I think this movie will appeal
6:57
to a very small audience um
7:00
I think the other thing there I'm seeing
7:02
this in films lately where it seems like
7:06
they're trying to uh there there's a
7:09
moment where kuna kind of freaks out and
7:12
her husband comes in and kind of walks
7:14
her through the steps of of not freaking
7:16
out and and I feel like a good portion
7:19
of this movie is a is is kind of a way
7:21
for the the director and the writer to
7:24
say uh this is how I think men should
7:26
relate to women uh in the world and and
7:29
it's almost like woman splaining uh you
7:32
know that let me let me I wrote that's
7:35
the thing that bothered me the thing
7:37
that bothered me wait just real quick
7:39
and we do have our guest is here we'll
7:41
get let me let me read let me read what
7:44
I wrote here because there there's a
7:47
lesson that I see in modern movies today
7:49
where uh where filmmakers need to teach
7:52
men how to relate to women wives and
7:54
daughters and that's what I felt like
7:56
this movie was it was a a lecture in a
7:59
way of how you know of of how men should
8:03
be interacting with with the women in
8:05
their lives and I felt like it was too
8:08
on the nose that it was a bit lexury and
8:10
a little bit condescending as opposed to
8:13
I would much rather if that was the goal
8:15
have it kind of slip in and have it kind
8:17
of feel organic to a situation as
8:20
opposed to feeling like a lecture out of
8:22
nowhere it it did feel like that and
8:25
that's where I'm like mixed on it I give
8:28
it a bare recommend mainly for Michael
8:30
Keaton's performance and munis as well I
8:34
love that she can go there you know and
8:36
she really played it real um but you're
8:39
right that was the part of the movie
8:40
that bothered me the most I felt like
8:42
this is it was basically he had failed
8:46
all the women and they don't even lean
8:48
in on his relationship to his son right
8:51
at all no no not at all very weird how
8:54
like the sun is like barely there so
8:57
yeah it's it's ultimately I mean I was
9:00
kind of the more I thought about it I
9:02
was disappointed but while watching it I
9:05
love Michael Keaton's just the fact that
9:07
he looks almost the same as when he was
9:11
younger you know he's he's really one of
9:13
those ageless men um so yeah I mean as
9:17
much as Michael King gives a great
9:20
performance here and you talked about
9:21
munas who's fantastic um I can't I can't
9:26
recommend the I can't good faith to tell
9:30
you that this is a good use of an hour
9:32
and 50 minutes of your time well you've
9:34
got a non- reccommend from Allan a
9:36
barely recommend for me so your mileage
9:39
may vary on good Rich uh do what you
9:42
will
