A solid coming of age memoir that coasts mostly on the cast. The film meanders in a way, which is a positive and a negative, the positive is that it feels real, the negative is that doesn’t always make the best movie. But again the cast really makes it and it feels like something people would fawn over more if it didn’t have the Affleck or Clooney names attached.

Tender is right. This is a warm hearted film, with excellent performances throughout and some interesting characters. An enjoyable watch.

A surprise coming of age story. Ben Affleck definitely has a type cast, but the movie is a warm hearted, feel good movie. It's an 8.5, but usually round up unless really bad. The cinematography was really good, which was a surprise in itself. I wasn't expecting that at the beginning of the film when it showed George Clooney directing.

Someone said memoirs don't translate well. This does, but it's not really memoirs don't translate well into movies. In my observations over the years, memoirs that cut a little too close to home often leave the viewer off balance. Is that the viewer's issue or the movie's?

As good as Ben Affleck is in this film, I don't think he could save it. Ben Affleck, along with Christopher Lloyd are the bright spots of the film. I thought the first half of the movie with J.R. as a kid was good. Unfortunately, I wish it would've lasted longer. After that, with Tye Sheridan taking over as J.R., with film just feels incomplete. Christopher Lloyd becomes invisible at this point. And any scenes without Ben Affleck aren't compelling. It felt like two different films. George Clooney's directing can certainly be hit and miss, and he definitely missed with this one.

P.S. The soundtrack was really good

It's a sweet story and the individual perfomances aren't bad, but in the end I must say I was bored rather quickly. The age jump didn't work for me and felt a little rushed. Tye Sheridan fails to keep the movie at the level of the first part of the movie. That's not a surprise because Affleck is the one shining through the clouds.

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.
