'The Peanut Butter Falcon' is a quirky road movie that runs out of gas too soon — but it helps you remember why Shia LeBeouf became a star. Our review
“You like Mark Twain?” asks a character midway through Tyler Nelson and Michael Schwartz’s road movie. The person saying this is a man who is, coincidentally, named Tyler, a swamp rat played by Shia LeBeouf so beautifully backwoods-scuzzy that you can practically smell the country funk coming off of him. The woman he’s addressing is Eleanor , a city-dweller who’s found herself in a middle-of-nowhere service station and in his company. The question is rhetorical.
It’s the scenes of these two misfits traipsing through the less-trod parts of our rural U.S. of A. that give— that’s Zak’s future wrestling handle, by the way — that give the movie its beguiling sense of possibility and its offbeat charm. Gottsagen couldn’t be a more appealing companion to LeBeouf’s cranky, yet surprisingly paternal fuck-up.
They say it’s the journey, not the destination, that’s important, which may be why the movie’s third act feels like a bit of a letdown. You could credibly accuse someone who says that a movie whose last half hour features Jon Bernthal, Thomas Haden Church, John Hawkes, Yelawolf, Mick Foley and Jake “The Snake” Roberts goes downhill of being a misanthrope.
