One of the top 10 movies I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2006)

I was somewhat reluctant to see this movie, because the movie critics almost unanimously raved about it. My past experience is that if the critics love it, I likely won't. However, when I saw that ordinary people also loved it, I decided to go. I am so happy I did! It really did "take me through all the emotions", well, not all, but it brought laughter and tears, and that's a pretty good combination. As wacky as some things in the movie may seem, it is not too wacky to be unbelievable. The acting is excellent and the only fault I have with it is the abundant use of the "F" word, which could have been bleeped in places, and substituted for another word in other places, without losing the "effect" I guess they wanted to achieve by having the "F" word in the movie. That was the only reason the movie was rated R, so they could have easily made it a PG-13 movie, although it is the kind of movie that may not appeal to many under 18 anyway. The characters are all so good, I hope they figure out a way to make a sequel, without making a sequel just to cash-in on. I don't pay attention to Oscars, but this movie better get some nominations for a few categories.
