The Founder- movie 2017

[elephant]

Just went and saw The Founder tonight staring, Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch. Really good movie, it wasn't a 2 hour long McDonalds commercial like I assumed it was going to be but tells the tale of Ray Kroc and his rise to "The Founder" of McDonalds from 1954 to 1984. Overall its a good movie, most of the movie takes place in the 1954-1959 era. There is always another side to every story, this story is worth knowing.

My wife wants to see it, knowing now that it isn't awful I'm more inclined to go with her. Hopefully we can check it out this week.

Ray Kroc has always intrigued me, this will be a rental. Looks great.

Micheal Keaton is a very underrated actor.

I've liked Keaton since "Night Shift"

I would interpret "underrated" as his popularity among movie-goers not quite matching his critical acclaim. I mean, I still see him as Johnny Dangerously.

See chuckman's post above for the intent of my post.

Also, the stuff you posted was not until 2002, 2014, and 2016.

I've been a fan of Keaton's since Gung Ho (1986) and Batman (1989).

Here is a bit of trivia for you gents, his first acting gig was on Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood.

Michael Keaton should have won an Oscar, Golden Globe, Peoples Choice Award, Critics Choice Award, Teen Choice Award, Nobel Peace Prize and slimed at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards for his breath taking performance on 1983's Mr. Mom.

Another John Hughes classic!
