A huge surprise

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2006)

I won two tickets to this movie and saw it earlier tonight. I must say I didn't't know anything about this movie and had little or no expectations to it. When I walked out of the cinema I must say I was surprised and in a good way. This is a beautiful story of an old man fulfilling his childhood dream, Anthony Hopkins delivers a great job portraying Burt Munroe, a almost childish old man who makes friends with everyone he meats on his journey to Utah. Although this is a drama movie it has it bits of humor which lightens up the movie, but it isn't that much that it looks silly. All the supporting actors also deliver a great job. This movie is a great change from all those political thrillers and violence packed action movies, it's a beautiful story about an old man fulfilling his dream, a true gem of a movie.
