Woody Harrelson delivers a solid performance as Wilson's titular grump, but the movie surrounding him can't quite manage to make the character's sour outlook consistently relatable.

It struggles to fill the big screen, either emotionally or visually, and after a while Harrelson's say-it-as-it-is persona becomes irritating. Jun 9, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Director Craig Johnson (who also dealt with middle aged angst in his previous film, The Skeleton Twins) has a nicely matter of fact way of showing Wilson's tribulations. Jun 7, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The film's bouts of slapstick and sentiment sit slightly oddly with its downbeat tone, but Harrelson is consistently funny. Jun 5, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

[Wilson has] many funny lines and a cast full of first-rate character actors such as Margo Martindale and Judy Greer. May 24, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

A few good cameos from David Warshofsky, as a prickly old friend of Wilson's, and Margo Martindale, as a date gone wrong, grace the torpid landscape. But it should all be sharper and funnier than it is. Mar 24, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Director Craig Johnson and screenwriter Daniel Clowes get so caught up in the quirks of their lead character that they forget to build the film around the central character. Dec 12, 2018 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

Much likes its eponymous character, Wilson isn't out to please everybody and is willing to push that just a little bit further and further in unexpected directions as it goes. Oct 31, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
