Reviews:

It’s not often I find myself writing this, but Ben Affleck is comfortably the best thing about this otherwise rather lacklustre adaptation of JR Moehringer’s autobiographical coming of age tale. It depicts the story of his childhood – through the eyes of the engaging young Daniel Ranieri – before he heads to Yale in the guise of Tye Sheridan. The first half hour, maybe, is quite entertaining. This young lad living with his mother (his selfish father is estranged from them, living the mobile life of a late night radio talk show host) in the home of his mildly eccentric grandfather (Christopher Lloyd) and their home is a lively, buzzing environment in which the youngster thrives. Chief amongst the residents is his charismatic, worldly-wise uncle “Charlie” (Affleck) who runs a local bar populated with a decent, working-class clientele who take to the young man and encourage his obvious academic talents. That half hour peters out, though, and the rest of the film is really a rather uninspiring story of a young man, his “first love”, a youth who is looking for some sort of positive male “role model”. I find Sheridan a rather sterile actor. Sure, he is pretty, but he doesn’t ever stand out with his performances. They are all just a little bit by the numbers, and here is no different. He speak words of passion, but his acting conveys none of that adequately on screen. The soundtrack is left to do much of the heavy lifting when it comes to dialogue, and it feels longer than the 1¾ hours it takes to watch. I am glad I watched it – on a big screen in London with just one other person – but I don’t think I would ever bother watching it again.

So very plain.

To be honest: I found ‘The Tender Bar’ to be a bore. I felt like I had seen this film before, such is the predictable and monotonous nature of the story. It almost felt like a (poorer) rerun of 2020’s ‘Hillbilly Elegy‘.

I will say, though, that Ben Affleck gives a very good performance in this, to the point that I actually would’ve liked to have seen a story revolving around him and his character – as opposed to who this 2021 flick is about. Aside from Affleck, I didn’t care for any of the other performances and therefore any of the other characters.

It’s not even a bad film, it’s just so, so boring – for me, anyway.

director George Clooney
It’s 1973. JR (Daniel Ranieri) and his mother (Lily Rabe) have to move back in with her father (Christopher Lloyd). It’s a house full of extended family including Uncle Charlie (Ben Affleck). JR doesn’t know his long-absent irresponsible father and Uncle Charlie who owns a local bar becomes his father figure. As an older kid, JR (Tye Sheridan) fulfills his mother’s wish for higher education.

There are interesting moments of humanity and humor within an extended non-dramatic coming-of-age story. This is really a series of vignettes of his early life. Director George Clooney is a good workman but this story needs something extra. As it stands, it probably would work better as TV show. I kept thinking the kid needs some friends. Of course, the central theme is the father figure in a young boy’s life. The movie needs to concentrate harder on that. Quite frankly, the movie needs more Ben Affleck. He has to sell this. He can’t be a side character. I’m not sure if Clooney has the vision as a director.

“Don’t look for your father to save you. And don’t play sports.”
I really enjoyed this movie. Can’t really say why, it just has that nifty, down home atmosphere that comes with lower and middle class values that eventually show up in the the progression of youth to adulthood. It’s also a nostalgic look back in time to the Seventies and Eighties with a complementary sidetrack invoking songs from the era that fit the tenor of the story. A big surprise here is Ben Affleck portraying bar owner and all around wise man as Uncle Charlie to young JR (Daniel Ranieri), and later, the college bound youth (Tye Sheridan) that JR grows into. Uncle Charlie is the kind of presence you can relate to without being overbearing or annoying. And for a working stiff, he’s a generous guy, handing young JR an autographed Tom Seaver baseball, and after he graduates, his very own first car to take him out on life’s highway. Side stories of JR’s unrequited first love come into play without being mawkish, and the harrowed relationship with his own father (Max Martini) is finally resolved with a cutting of the cord that proves his own maturity and independence.

Uncle Charlie’s best advice to JR – ‘take Philosophy, there’s no right answer’. Did I say I enjoyed this movie? I loved it!
