Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1.5/4 --
"A Long Way Down" doesn't bother to explore its characters on any substantial level and comes close to offending in how flippant the whole thing is to the subject of suicide.

Author Nick Hornby establishes a tone of sentimental black humor, and director Pascal Chaumeil orchestrates the encounter as the formation of rag-tag band where each player gets a stirring solo number.

Tackles the topic of life-ending despair with all the delicacy and grace of a Hallmark greeting card.

Surf frolic! Group hug! Bonding! Brosnan was a low-on-the-totem-pole James Bond, but we'll take that Bond over this bonding. Brosnan meanders insincerely through the material.

Butchering its Nick Hornby based source material, the end result is an aggravating chore to sit through.

Rating: 3/5 --
Aside from a gloriously entertaining performance from Imogen Poots, A Long Way Down, though entertaining at times, is somewhat misjudged and profoundly forgettable.

I enjoyed it, and I find myself hanging onto it, but mostly because of the interesting combination of its cast members, and the way they communally grapple with hopelessness.

Product Description:
Four suicidal strangers find support in the last place they ever expected to in this emotionally charged comedy-drama based on the novel by Nick Hornby. It's New Year's Eve in London, and disgraced television personality Martin (Pierce Brosnan) is about to take a flying leap off of Topper's Tower when he's interrupted by Maureen (Toni Collette), a lonely single mother who's reached the end of her rope. Meanwhile, as the pair realize their suicide plans have overlapped, onto the rooftop dashes Jess (Imogen Poots), a rebellious teen with nothing left to live for. Just when it seems this despairing group can't possibly get any bigger, rocker-turned-pizza delivery driver J.J. (Aaron Paul) shows up with a fresh pie and a death wish. Rather than taking the plunge together, the unlikely foursome decide to put their plans off until Valentine's Day -- sticking together and supporting one another in the interim. Later, as their friendship deepens, their unusual pact stirs a media firestorm. Sam Neill and Rosamund Pike co-star.
