    Well performed, beautifully shot, but rather schmaltzy angsty drama
    In angsty drama "Ezra" titular young William A Fitzgerald's autism causes increasing issues, which his divorced parents (Bobby Cannavale (stand-up comedian) & Rose Byrne (now with bf Tony Goldwyn)) disagree on how best to handle. So, supported by the likes of his own father Robert DeNiro and pals Rainn Wilson & Vera Farmiga, dad takes off with son on an NY to LA road-trip... with ex-wife & the FBI in pursuit. It's well performed (props to that fine cast - also inc Whoopi Goldberg & Jimmy Kimmell) and beautifully shot (props to director Goldwyn) but sadly writer Tony Spiridakis lays the schmaltz on thick, making this one ultimately too saccharine for many tastes.

    Heartwarming humurous story
    This movie is great. Definitely recommend to those who are on the spectrum or have a child with a disability. There is a bit of profanity and one or two mentions of sexual content. Nothing graphic just was wondering why the movie had an R rating since it didn't look like comedic raunchy humor or one of those action violent theme movies. I found the movie funny and the kid actor William Fitzgerald did such a great job at acting! Bobby was an okay father in the movie and me being a disabled child growing up with a single parent made the movie relateable to an extent. I would not recommend the movie to young children but teens should be fine. Overall, a good family movie just wish the movie had more background about the parents of Ezra.
