general thoughts

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2006)

The movie is framed in a very predictable frame. this frame, if concentrated on, may ruin the movie for some, but if you actually take time and think about and enjoy the content of the movie, you will find that the movie far surpasses any trailer or initial inclinations. as embarrassing as this may be, probably my favorite movie of the year so far. Also, probably the closest i've been to crying since "Big Fish" and nothing before that. I can't stress enough, don't get caught up on the format of the movie. Focus on the internal story. While some parts of Sandler's acting shows slight weaknesses, this role shows his diversity as did "punch drunk love." (Kate is pretty easy on the eyes too. :) )
