Reviews for Spring Forward
Beatty and Schreiber give accomplished performances, but are handicapped by the staginess of the script and the static nature of Gilroy's direction.
What a treat to finally see a pudgy character actor and a stereotypically type cast "bad guy" demonstrate their consummate acting skills
A marvelous movie about a friendship that slowly unspools between two unlikely souls.
