I received The Peanut Butter Falcon movie kit for this feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
The Peanut Butter Falcon is a funny, heartwarming story about Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down Syndrome who runs away from a residential nursing home to fulfill his dream of attending the pro wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). On the road, Zak meets Tyler (Shia LaBeouf!!), a small-time outlaw who becomes Zak’s unlikely coach and ally. Together, they set out on a wild, life-changing journey and try to convince Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), a kind nursing-home employee charged with bringing Zak back, to join them.
Emmy®winner Shia LaBeouf (Transformersfranchise,Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) stars alongside Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Greyfranchise,Suspiria,The Social Network) in “the sweetest darn film of the decade†(Film Inquiry) when The Peanut Butter Falconarrives on Digital November 5 and on Blu-ray (plus Digital), DVD and On Demand November 12 from Lionsgate.
