Close To Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2005)

Plain and simple this movie is almost a perfect movie. The only thing keeping it from being perfect is that I personally don't believe there is a perfect movie. This gets as close as it gets. Clint Eastwood was very good, and I am not a big fan of his. Morgan Freeman was kind of wasted, but was still terrific, they just didn't give him much to do. Hilary Swank's performance was beyond words. Never have I been so moved to laugh and to cry as I was by this film. It made me want to stand up and cheer, made me want to cry my eyes out, made me laugh my ****s off, and really, REALLY made me wish this movie would not end. If you can only see one movie this year, or next year, you will be doing yourself a service by seeing this movie!
If Swank doesn't win Best Actress, the Oscars will forever be tainted in my eyes.......
