The Peanut Butter Falcon

This kind of small independent film is why I love going to the movies. This is a touching funny movie and if you are looking to spend your money at a major chain cinema, this is what to spend your money on. What's it all about? It's about a young man, Zak who has Down syndrome, played by Zack Gottsagen who really does has Down syndrome. Zak is living in an old age home because he has no family and there is no other facility to look after him. He dreams of becoming a wrestler like he has watched a thousand times on his VHS tapes and wants to get to the Salt Water Redneck wrestling school (the Salt Water Redneck is played by Thomas Haden Church and he is great). With the help of Zak's roommate (played by Bruce Dern) he escapes the old age home and runs into Tyler (Shia LaBeouf) who is also on the run from fishermen he has really pissed off. Eleanor (Dakota Johnson) is sent to find Zak. When she does, it's a lovely adventure. This little film charmed the pants off of me. Catch it now in theatres.
