People feel obligated to like this movie

Rating: 6/10 (27 January 2006)

Okay, it's a barely better than average movie, but I'm sorry. it's not great.
First, am I the only one who has noticed that Heath Ledger's speech patterns are about 90% plagiarized from Billy Bob Thornton in Slingblade?
Secondly, I'm sorry but it's talked about as a "love story," but I didn't see the love. All I saw was two guys wanting to get into each other's pants. Two guys so obsessed with sex that they'll endanger all of the other relationships in their lives.
(SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW) We learn that on their later fishing trips they didn't fish. Presumably they were humping. When people who truly love each other go on a fishing trip, there is some fishing in addition to the lovemaking.
