i absolutely loved this movie

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2002)

people usually think that since i am young i am completely devoid of the ability to properly judge a movie, but they are wrong. i loved the subtleties that Anthony Hopkins brought to his character, steering it away from the cookie-cutter image of a misunderstanding, overbearing father. and Brad Pitt was brilliant in bringing a child-like quality to Joe--i just fell in love with him when he licked the spoon with penut butter on it. this is a great date movie as well as an intelligent drama/romance.
