One of the things that partly excuses the movie's mush is that it's a kind of musical.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Danny Collins is the cinematic equivalent of a well-sung easy rock tune, enjoyably light and bouncy, with some darker notes hidden within the chords.
Pacino's exuberance rescues Dan Fogelman's directing debut from the schematic snares in Fogelman's script.
It's never dull to watch pros like Pacino, Bening, Plummer, Garner and Cannavale interact - this is dream casting - and the film makes the most of that, along with a pleasingly comprehensive Lennon soundtrack.
Comedy, pathos, and some schmaltzy couplets about the changing seasons follow forthwith.
