First1/2 hour slow... BUT Stick it out! It's as good as you've heard!

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2005)

The first half hour is slow and drags... but it's well worth the wait! Once R Zellweger comes on the screen the film starts moving faster and becomes all the wonderful things that you heard this film would be:) I tried to watch this movie at home three times... I fell a sleep once and walked away bored twice... THEN I read all the wonderful reviews and reminded myself how much I enjoyed the actors in the film, and Renee Zellweger had yet to show up... so I finally stuck it out. I finally saw what everyone had talked about! It's really worth sticking it out. Nicole Kidman gave what I thought to be a very disappointing performance, that is until she unites with Zellweger, their chemistry works.. that or it proves whose really the better actor! Zellweger demands the attention at all times no matter whose in the scene with her, and draws great performances from the rest of the cast as well. It's definitely worth seeing what all the hype and awards were about.
