Wow. What a movie. It starts off a bit cheesy but picks up steam until it goes straight off the rails!

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2013)

I was very surprised, not in a bad way though, by this movie. At first I thought it was a somewhat two-dimensional movie with a predictable cast. Boy, was I wrong. While parts might feel a bit contrived and the lead actor, while a good actor, could have pulled a bit more, overall it doesn't overshadow any aspect of the movie.
The plot is highly refreshing and the movie was so much better than the contrived cookie-cutter offerings given at the box office, where the end is stapled gaudily across the beginning.
On the whole, the movie was refreshing and far more true to life than I expected from the beginning. Given the somewhat stereotypical flicks being offered up at the buffet line under the auspices of fine dining, this one is actually worth taking a bite out of. You might not walk away stuffed, but you'll notice, with each step, a content fullness that many offerings seem to lack.
