Danny Collins | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Zeal (Annette Bening reminds us) may not be great, but it isn't awful either. For better or worse, Danny Collins is a film with a lot of zeal.

As soon as it becomes clear that the film is really about the megastar Danny bantering with starstruck hicks and learning how to love again, it sinks like a stone, and we're right back to Pacino "doing Pacino."

This is a crowd-pleaser that will have even the grumpiest of audience members imagine how they could better themselves, if even for a few fleeting moments.

It never rocks despite a talented cast.

Danny Collins is a perfect example of a whole that is less than the sum of its parts, some of which are quite good in themselves.
