For Anthony Hopkins

Rating: 8/10 (21 March 2006)

The movie name is funny but the quality of the work by Anthony Hopkins is as expected from a legend. An inspirational story, this one is a must watch. He is old, fat and poor, yet he lives only to pursue his dream. Scenes of interaction with his neighbor's son, scenes where he is ridiculed for his dream and scenes where his charm wins over people whom he interacts with in America are some of the highlights of the movie. He is 70 and there is no one who can match his screen presence. The movie could have been a notch better had they shown some moments in the life of Burt Munro at a younger age. But then again, who do you get to play a young Anthony Hopkins. Overall it's a nicely shot movie with an inspiring story and a heart warming performance by Anthony Hopkins.
