A heartfelt, original story

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2008)

This film lightens up my day in an otherwise less exciting world of movies, from early on where normal films get cut down this just goes from strength to strength. What's great is I've watched this with people who aren't Ferrell's biggest fans and they've been turned by his character and how passionate he is with it. If you're a fan of thought-provoking original ideas and are happy that they might fall into that 'quirky' category then definitely check this out. I don't like to use the work quirky as I don't think it's a fair description as Thompson and Ferrell are beautiful to watch. You completely fall into every character and see what they all want complete with great turns from Maggie Gyllenhaal & Dustin Hoffman. Very much recommended.
