loved it!

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2012)

This movie was excellent. It was magical when I saw it in the theaters and just as wonderful watching the DVD at home, three years later.
The balance of real facts and humor was great, I was laughing at one part and crying five minutes later.
I am a little confused at the reviewers calling the film racist...it is based on a very true story, who actually experienced most of the events in the movie. Yes, some of the situations are exaggerated, but I feel as though it makes the film easier to understand. If the racism was any more subtle, it may seem less important, which is not true. I read the book; liked the movie better, but still great.
If you have not seen this movie yet, I suggest you run out to the store right now. A must-see! Go, go, go!
