I have to say, I wanted to hate this movie....

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2008)

When a movie gets so much praise, I usually go into it with a skeptical eye. I didn't even want to see this movie because I heard so much praise for it. Having watched it, all I can say is that it made a believer of me.
The only way it has this low of a rating is due to backlash from all the praise, because, honestly, it's stunning.
E. Murphy deserved the Oscar, his performance DESTROYED Alan Alda's weak performance in the WEAK movie 'Little Miss Sunshine' And JH's performance? Incredible. When watching the Academy Awards, I was miffed that she won Best Supporting Actress over other 'professional' actresses. Having seen the movie, I relunctantly admit that she deserved it.
Beautiful soundtrack, perfect performances by so many, just an incredible movie.
Again, the low rating has to be due to backlash...and not true ratings. It's 10/10.
