An emotional rollercoaster, and worth it!

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2000)

I don't know...everyone seems to be either totally for this movie or totally against it. I liked it a lot. I try, rather than searching mercilessly for acting/directing/writing mistakes or atrocities, to just simply watch the movie and lose myself in its fantasy. If I have a hard time doing that, then the movie is bad and I don't recommend it. However, I found this movie to be very moving and I definitely got swept up in the plot and action. I would recommend it to everyone, although not everyone seems to enjoy it. After having seen it, I felt like finding the guy I have a crush on and spontaneously giving him kiss and becoming a better American. This movie definitely puts one in a patriotic mood. Okay. The guy...Heath Ledger. Total hottie. I should say any teenage girl who has yet to see this needs to, just so she can drool. Not to mention the fact that Mel Gibson is his dad (another total hottie). And both these guys are EXCELLENT actors, which is even better. But aside from that fact, this is a GOOD movie. Go see it.
I thought it was worth it for sure.
