Goodbye Mr. Nutjob

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 2003)

Outstanding flick, made so by the performance of Crowe. Since the Academy Awards rarely honor the best acting performance as advertised, I'm shocked people still get miffed. How old Russell won an Oscar for the non speaking part he had in Gladiator, and then doesnt win for this tells it all.

Like many long ones, this drags at the 3/4 pole and kinda kills the momentum. But its still a rare breath of quality that's definitely worth your while. Connelly is incredible as is Harris, and Opie as usual does a fine job behind the megaphone. Something about a film centered around a learning institution that inspires such hope in us all...they just are hard to dislike.
