Good but not great

Rating: 6/10 (16 September 2002)

I am not sure why this won so much praise. Russel Crowe is decent in it. Jennifer Connely a bit better. The story was too Hollywood romanticized. I wanted more of a documentary, informative, real life type film, not a love story.
What upset me the most (and this is real nit picking) is that both Crowe and Connely are waaaay too attractive to be believable. I mean come on, I have seen pictures of the real John Nash. He is a weird looking guy. I know dumb ugly guys with just about the same amount of social skills that can get ass. A genious that looks like Russel Crowe can get butt from other than one girl? Sure.
All in all, a 6 outta 10. Good, nothing earth shattering and a bit unbelievable and white washed.
