An aging rock star receives a life-changing letter and decides to find out what his life could have been like. Still riding high on the hits from his heyday, singer Danny Collins (Al Pacino) seems to have it all—money, fame, a new fiancée and arenas packed with adoring fans. But years of hard living, failed relationships and performing the same songs night after night have begun to take their toll on the once wild rocker. So when his longtime manager (Christopher Plummer) presents him with a never-delivered letter written to him 40 years earlier by John Lennon, Danny decides to belatedly heed his idol’s advice and follow his heart. He cancels a sold-out tour and checks into a small-town New Jersey hotel to try to rediscover his love of music and the family he abandoned on his way to stardom.

Certainly one of the lamest castings for the once cool Pacino, now seemingly content to just pick up a pay check and attempt to charm those prone to falling asleep halfway through a film and missing most of his atrocious offerings as a method actor trying to be something he ain't. The script offers even less. Fluffy Hollywood garbage aimed at the inattentive and easily impressed film watcher. Embarrassing misuse of the Pacino marquee brand.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, critique.
