oh my god.. wat a ride??

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2007)

I was waiting for this DVD for so long as it will take at least another 6 or 8 months to hit the theatres in India, and i was dying to c this movie after i read all the glowing reviews and the 8.1 rating from IMDb. but i was having a constant fear that the hype that it created will never be met, but wat a relief.. it did not just meet the hype but it scored more too..
the story is so simple(as many people have already talked abt the story I will cut that part). The way the screenplay has been done is simply marvelous, and the editing and the direction is just flawless. Such a movie can lose its pace very easily but except for a few minutes in the middle wen Richard tries to deal with his problem at night could have been crisper. But nevertheless it was flawless.
The reason for this movie to go from good to greatness is the acting part.. flawless is too small a word to describe this work of art.. all the cast have just lived the character.. Greg Kinnear was awe-inspiring, Toni Collette so natural, Paul Dano was a revelation (pls check out the part wen he finds out that he has colour blindness and cant pursue his dream-it will blow ur mind), Steve Carell was just amazing, this might well be his best work till date.. and last but not the least the Oscar contenders Abigail Breslin as olive and Alan Arkin as her grand pa.. it was just out of the world experience.. Abigail was so cute to be true and if she doesn't win the Oscars I will make a golden statue and present it to her myself..
Had a grt time watching this amazing Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris's piece of art. Pls check it out and u wont be disappointed I will guarantee.
9/10 ( i wanna give them a ten but i am a little strict..hehehe )
