unexpectedly beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2014)

This movie came as a surprise to me. When I saw the trailer, I was expecting a comedy with unrealistic dream sequences. I was ready for some laughs. Did I laugh? Yes. Were there a few scenes with non-real drama going on? Yes. But was it also well written, well acted, and VERY well filmed? YES. This was a beautiful adventurous film. The trailer does NOT do this justice. And I think the title throws people off. The acting was superb. Loved the ending and just all the quirky little moments. The soundtrack was UNREAL. every piece of this puzzle was crafted together consciously and artistically. Powerful movie experience. Will be keeping an eye out for more Ben Stiller movies for sure.
