The Judge is in no way a feel-good movie. In fact, a lot of it is depressing as fuck. But beneath all the turmoil is a story about dealing with your own past and not letting it govern or ruin your future. Robert Downey Jr. does a really good job at playing a truly miserable man who hides behind a veil of snark and wit. Anyone who has had difficulty with one or more of their parents or tried to distance themselves from their roots and hometown will be able to relate to him, even if they occasionally find his actions a bit slimy. With its great acting, dialogue, and characters, you should really give this movie the time of day.
