My 22-year old son went the night before me to see the movie. The next morning he said this was NOT a chick flick, he really liked it, and he was going to see it again. Does that tell you something? Ditto his sentiments. There was so much COURAGE in the characters portrayed, despite risks, condescension from friends, having to go the extra mile and be inconvenienced. I could go on and on, but I'm giving 2 thumbs up, and 3 if I had an extra.
