Go See It!

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2005)

Without giving anything away, I will say that this is one of the year's best movies, and I would not be surprised to see it on a "10 Best List" for the year. It is very well-acted, and the script is great. Both male leads are very appealing in very different ways. Vince Vaughn is very smart and quick witted. On the surface he seems uncaring, but actually turns out to be a great friend to Owen Wilson's character who also initially seems smart and self-absorbed, but is actually very sweet and vulnerable. Their different personalities compliments each other. This movie works because the story turns and twists in all kinds of different ways. Also, just when you think you have it all figured and you think you've seen this all before...you don't! And yes this is definitely a comedy, but there are dramatic elements to it as well running thru, and it works. There are some good performances, some great performances, and a few interesting performances. You will not be disappointed. I was fortunate enough to attend a screening tonight, and the audience was very receptive to this movie as well. Just go!
