Great movie! One of the best I have seen this year.

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2008)

What a great story,somewhat original which is hard to find these days. Although perhaps a little predictable it still kept my attention through to the last line. The story was developed very plausible and had a feel good quality to it throughout the movie. it is refreshing to watch drama unfold with the feel good theme and not have things blowing up or action hero's winning the day battling against evil.
The acting was superb, Hillary Swank does a great job, what a class act she is. It was great to see her win an award for her efforts. Suppoting roles where strong and believable. The only weakness was in Harry Conick Jr.'s character. I am not sure what it was, the script or the actor failing to deliver but some small thing seemed to be missing.
Unfortunate the Academy did not see fit to give this movie any credit. Over all a job well done by everyone. I will buy this one for my collection when it becomes available.
