Well, this is (accessing Sarcasm Mode) one of those upbeat movies that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Seriously, though, I know people who cried at the end and I know people (like myself) who though it was good but also thought it was a LITTLE much, and I know people who hated it and walked out in the first half hour!
My opinion was this: it was well done, but a more subtle approach would have been better (and I don't know if we needed that cheerful meditation or mortality at the finale). On the other hand, by the middle, I said to myself "If John Coffey saves a deer (think "Starman" or "Powder" and cringe) this movie is OVER!!!"
