This would be decent without Holly (Gosling's kid).

Funny how pretty much each time a kid stars in a movie not made for kids, there's ALWAYS someone to say "the kid was annoying". It's like the sole presence of a kid is considered annoying. Just accept the fact that you don't like to see kids starring in this kind of movies.

That said, I agree that kid characters in movies like this one is always risky, and a good part of them end up being annoying, but not always. I thought Holly was a pretty cool character, and her presence alone gives interesting aspects of Gosling's character.

She made the movie, you fool!


If I don't reply, you're probably on my ignore list for something I forgot already

I disagree. I loved Holly. The movie wouldn't have been as good without her.

Poorly Lived and Poorly Died, Poorly Buried and No One Cried

She elevated the film. She was a great character and wonderfully acted.

I liked her a lot.

I sort of agree with you. I think the movie would have been slightly better if Holly wasn't in it as much. I think she was way too involved with the story. However, I still had a great time with the movie.

Thought she was pretty cool and smart. A great addition to the story line.

She was quite smart and fit well with the dynamic of the two guys.
