I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot is a bit slow out of the blocks, but the second half of the film more than makes up for it. It's recommended viewing for mature, discerning moviegoers.

I admit this film brought tears to my eyes several times. A very touching true story about a terribly disturbed man, who made his life worse through alcohol abuse to the point where he is almost physically destroyed by his actions while abusing the substance. But, the terrible accident which would appear to destroy his life, ends up saving his life and giving his life meaning and value! Great acting and storyline! The Academy rarely gets it right, but this film should get several nominations! Big surprise for me as I wasn't expecting much, but was highly moved by this film.

Films about alcoholism are not my favorite genre. They are either too depraved and sad or too preachy (the 12 steps). And to be sure, that was the case in this film. But the cast turns in a fine performance and the real treat was that about half way though the film, I realized who Callahan actually was.

A ho hum attempt to garner brownie points for a no lose sympathy subject. It's an affront to every physically impaired person forced into living with this type of injury. How dare Phoenix be cast as a paraplegic when there are actual physically limited actors who should have been given the opportunity to portray John Callahan. Shame!Same old story of Hollywood elitists attempting to make money via the inspirational story of someone else.
