man this was a good movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2006)

feel good movie...yes, entertaining...yes, best movie I've seen in the last couple of years...you bet. Before Xmas I took my two kids to see this (aged 11 & 13) and couldn't get in the first time (sold out). A week later, expecting a good movie, I was glued to the screen & experienced a fantastic movie. The kids never left there seats, which is unusual for them considering the amount of coke they usually drink there! My wife was not interested in going with us initially, but after I told her she would enjoy it, she went with her sister. She came back all smiles..."that was awesome". Anthony Hopkins was brilliant as Burt, and deserves an award for what he did here. For Xmas I got the book of his (Burts) life (a great read), and can't wait for the DVD release, hopefully with Roger Donaldsons original documentary about Burt included. As for the Film, 10/10.
