Aside from Michael Keaton delivering yet another outstanding performance, along with a fine appearance by Morgan Freeman, this classic movie about addiction, treatment, recovery and the reality of all the ensuing complications is one of the few that gets it right. This is not just a depressing story about some drunk stumbling around for two hours and then finally dying. This is an honest and entertaining look at close to what it is really like to go through what the movie's characters endure. Similar to the reality of A Man and A Woman, another of the rare group of movies that entertain while educating about addiction without preaching. There is one scene in here that you do NOT want anyone to tell you about ahead of time. It is guaranteed to grab you! I highly recommend it, whether you are exposed to addiction's issues or not. It is good viewing.

Michael Keaton performs his role as an addict to perfection. This movie is both inspirational and hysterically funny. It is of interest to all, those with or without drug or alcohol abuse concerns in their family!

I picked this film up for it's 80's nostalgia. It depicts the AA/NA meetings/groups and sponsors well. it's still hollywood, but is pretty true to form. Great performance by Morgan Freeman and Michael Keaton.

This is a true to life movie that shows denial as well as the way everyone can fall back.
