Really enjoyed this!

I took my 17 year old daughter to see a matinée of this film at a delightful art-house theater near us. Not really having any expectations, and not being a huge fan of Nick Nolte, I was pleasantly surprised by how well he portrayed the Socrates character. I have a whole new outlook on him as an actor now, because he seemed to emanate this guy. I don't know, maybe the credit should be given to the director who kept the pace of the film interesting as the lessons Dan was there to learn unfolded naturally.
We enjoyed the story, it was very humorous at times, and the camaraderie that built between Socrates and Dan was enchanting. This was truly an enjoyable experience for the both of us.
