What every movie should try to be.

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2008)

To be honest, I went into this movie with the distinct thought that there was no way that this movie could live up to the hype, and that there was no way it couldn't be overrated.
I was wrong. It's an amazing film. It's simple, it's witty, and it's subtle.
I don't recall ever leaving a film with a sense of feeling better. I don't mean to say this is a "feel good movie," but after watching it, I just felt better about everything. I didn't go into this movie depressed, angry, or sad, but in watching this movie something about me was lifted up. (In re- reading this, I realize I sound ridiculous, but I really can't explain it).
Regardless of what you think you know about this movie, what pre-determined opinions you may have, or no matter how much you may hate the 80's, watch this movie. It'll get ya.
