Over Rated

Rating: 7/10 (24 April 2004)

There is no denying that this is a very good movie. The acting is great and it tells a good story.
Personally, I find it a bit too long and a little too sweet for my taste, but its far from a bad film.
On the other end of the spectrum I have yet to understand why this film was nominated for as many Oscars as it was and why so many people have fallen in love with it. To place it on the same level as The Godfather and several hundred other films has to be the result of different tastes.

This is a film that should be seen because its a good movie, not because its a great one.
