Awesome

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2009)

The movie was totally awesome! It's now one of my favorite movies of all time! The way Will Ferrell plays a serious role is awesome and refreshing! I normally don't like Ferrell because a little too over the top for my tastes, but when he's not trying to be funny, he's great. Emma Thompson is great, as usual. She plays the reclusive author very well. Dustin Hoffman is hilarious! If I had a literature professor, I'd want them to be exactly like him. Maggie Gyllenhaal is beautiful and pulls off her character wonderfully! I love that they picked someone who doesn't look like all the other actresses, all perfect and more of a model than anything. Though Queen Latifah's role is small, it's very well done. Everyone was very well cast and they play amazingly off each other! I loved it!
