It’s about time to see a good movie with Al Pacino on it, not that all the movies he entered lately are bad, but are so damn forgetable. Al Pacino stars and shines as aging 70s rocker Danny Collins, who can’t give up his hard-living rock n´roll style. But everything changes when his manager – the always great Christopher Plummer – uncovers a 40 year-old undelivered letter written to him by John Lennon. After that he decides to change his course of life, in a journey to rediscover his ignored family, finding something more than just love with Mary Sinclair – the challenging character portrayed by the lovely Annette Bening. Danny Collins is corny, but also funny and moving without being bot cliché cheesy or boring.
