The Peanut Butter Falcon

In cinemas now

Yet another movie featuring an oddball lead (in this case Shia LaBeouf). But despite its title, The Peanut Butter Falcon is actually a heartwarming tale about an intellectually disabled young man named Zak (played by Zack Gottsagen) who dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. Along the way, he becomes friends with smalltime crook Tyler (played by LaBeouf) who eventually becomes Zak’s coach and ally. It is a wonderful tale of resilience, bolstered by strong performances by Gottsagen and LaBeouf.
