About this movie

THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON follows Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down syndrome who runs away from a residential nursing home to fulfill his dream of attending the pro wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). On the road, Zak meets Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), a small-time outlaw who becomes Zak’s unlikely coach and ally. Together, they set out on a wild, life-changing journey and try to convince Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), a kind nursing-home employee charged with bringing Zak back, to join them.

Ratings and reviews

God's given love shines through :) A very funny and simply good story, with a Down Syndrome fun loving guy and a wayward troubled guy that befriends and helps the other, and a woman that loves the beauty in all three eventually. Minus the couple bad language spots it's reality and definitely worth the watch. Again, God's given love shines through :)

This movie was very boring & the jokes are very dull. The end left off on a very boring cliff hanger. In all this movie sucked I don't recommend watching it unless you want a one way ticket to sleep or want to bore someone to death.

I thought the ending was kind of silly/unrealistic but this was a fun, Huckleberry Finn kind of adventure. I also think it's great they have someone who actually has a mental handicap playing the role of the mentally handicap person. This is the kind of progress we need in Hollywood!
