We thought it was fun!

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2006)

My husband read the book and thought that the movie was "good". I had not read the book and thought that the movie was "good" - we enjoyed it; thought that it was fun. We also wondered what movie the critics saw, or maybe they were expecting too much - or, maybe, they're part of the church's conspiracy...? Hmmm? I'm not Christain and I am female, so I enjoyed much of the discussions in the story. We liked the actors, the direction, the music, even the flashbacks. The same team that did A Beautiful Mind is here, again, with the same problem: how do you show, in a movie, someone's thought processes? My husband wanted to know if things were too obvious - but I've seen Dogma, so I "got" that fairly early (if you've read the book, etc., you know of what I refer). Anyway, read the book, see the movie, have fun with it!
