This movie is a fantastic surprise.

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2005)

Why is there a movie as wonderful and charming and unpretentious as this one, but we're hearing almost nothing about it?? We saw this movie tonight, we loved it, and everybody in the theater seemed to feel the same tonight...both guys and women.
In a funny way, it reminded me of several years ago when that movie came out with Richard Farnsworth, the true story about the guy who drove his tractor across the country to see his brother. I hope this gets as much attention as that did.
Anthony Hopkins is funny and unique in this movie, his acting is meticulous. Cool script and direction by Roger Donaldson, who usually does big blockbusters.
