Wow. It's maddening to me that the absolute ONLY reason people are raving about this movie is because the man is gay. The acting was decent. But that's all it was. It wasn't great. It wasn't something to write home about. It wasn't any better than any other movie. Now I don't have homophobia, but i don't think that being gay is enough to push an actor to the stars. You still have to act well. It seems to me that if an actor wants to jump start his career, or just make a strong comeback, you need to play a homosexual in a movie (think Brokeback Mountain, now Milk). Absolutely Sean Penn is an annoying actor in just about any movie he plays in, but oh man! Watch out for the gay character. He can nail it right? BS. He was still as annoying as he was in his other films. The only thing that made him in this movie is that he was playing a gay character. Ridiculous.
