Long and Boring!!!

Rating: 4/10 (24 January 2006)

I seem to be one of the few who didn't like this movie. The make-up was great on the cast in aging all of them. Jake Gyllenhaal did a great job as well as Heath Ledger, which made me wonder how come only Heath Ledger got nominated for a Globe. Michelle Williams portrayed the character Alma amazingly because that's what I would imagine any wife would do in that situation, except if I saw my man kissing another guy I wouldn't be staying with him anymore. She was a brave and strong character for the 1970's.
I watched this movie as I have wanted to see it since it came out and was disappointed by how long and boring it was. There was too much focused on Jack and Ennis and not enough to show their lives in their homes with their families.
