Love love love this movie

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2010)

I would give it a 20! The storytelling was superb. This could have been so sappy, but it was done with a realism. Characters were likable, admirable, and a reminder that there are heroes in real life. Totally safe to watch with children. I recommend that children on up watch it. But it isn't childish. So much humor, too. That's part of the storytelling. It could have been made pitiful. Instead, there was something joyful from the beginning. Yes, there was the sadness, the misery, the heartbreak. Somehow, that did not dominate. There was no psych delving into the all the badness, stirring up crushing emotions. There were decent people driven by a natural goodness and conscience that triumphed. Sandra Bullock deserved her Oscar for her performance. I bet her character lives in legend. Her husband, Tim McGraw was just fun. Don't miss it.
