Spoilers alert! By the end of this movie the cat starts to eat. If you will see "Manglehorn" (2014) you'll know what i mean, but basically that is one of two things that happens in this movie.

"Manglehorn" (2014) is a low-key, slow burning character study drama. Performances are very solid, but this is not surprising because we are talking about Al Pacino and Holly Hunter. Directing is pretty nice, script is simple yet good. At running time 1 h 30 min this movie drags a bit here and there, but it a nice movie overall.

Overall, if you will skip "Manglehorn" you won't lose anything. This is a character study drama but the problem is that character well portrayed by Al Pacino isn't interesting at all. He is a jerk if you ask me. I won't spoil the ending but there is some character transformation yet i kinda didn't care for it that much. This is a watchable movie but it's not a memorable one, you will forget it very quickly after it ends, so i couldn't recommend this picture, but if you want some time to waste - "Manglehorn" isn't the worst choice.
