OK, so we usually expect Robin Williams to launch into zany diatribes. If you're expecting that with "Seize the Day", you will get royally shocked. This movie is not a comedy in any way, shape, or form. He plays a Jewish guy in 1950s New York whose life is totally falling apart. He's divorced and losing his worldly possessions, he's developing road rage, and his father (Jerry Stiller) gives him no love.
Does that sound like a downer? Well, it should. This is a VERY depressing movie. It hits you like a kick in the gut. I've never read the novel on which this was based, but if the movie is this depressing, then I shudder to think how the novel must be.
Now don't get me wrong. I do recommend this movie. I am just reminding you that it's downer. You have been warned. Also starring Glenne Headly and Joseph Wiseman.
