I almost listened to people telling me not to see this movie because it didn't get great reviews from the critics...well, who the hell are they? So glad I didn't listen. This was a very powerful movie, and definitely makes you think, is this what really started it all in Iraq. Of course we would never be privy to the information, but it wouldn't surprise me. Being the wife of a veteran, I understood how Matt Damon's character was feeling about getting to the bottom of things and the need to know. If you haven't seen this, it's not a waste of your time and money, especially if your torn with the "should I or shouldn't I go see this." You should!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I didn't have any real desire to see this movie when it was being advertised, but my youngest daughter wanted to see it, so off I went. I was surprised to find that I really liked the movie and the characters. It was a joy to watch and I would and I have told others to see it.
I'm glad I went to see the movie before reading the books! I've heard people say, "Oh, he's no Edward," etc...well, I now have a face to put with each character in the book, and I find each actor to fit the characters in the book very well. I loved the chemistry between Rob and Kristen, very touching! And Jasper, I don't think they could have found a better person to play him. A great love story for teens and adults. I never would have went to see it if it weren't for my teenage daughter. I've read the whole series since seeing the movie opening day. I'm hooked.
