This movie was not only funny, brilliant, and poignant. It was wonderful too.
This is the best movie Billy Crystal has done since "When Harry Met Sally" and it is definitely one of the best Marisa has ever done. Bette was great also.
This movie deserves all the kernels. The only people who wouldn't agree are those who don't like kids or parents or grandparents. But if you do, don't miss this movie.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, funny, poignant
Cons curmudgeon won't like it
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is one of very few "don't miss movies". The first part is so well done that it takes your breath away.
The middle part takes you down a troubling path. You are thinking where are they going to go with this story.
The end is so beautiful that I (an old white man) and the young black man seated next to me both left the theater with wet faces.
This could easily be an Academy Award for Denzel. The supporting actors were extraordinary also.
There are two brief nude scenes that may offend some. If you let word of these keep you away, you will be missing one great movie.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Cons very brief nudity
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie offered a totally new and unique perspective on plagiarism and the long term consequences. Along the way , we witness at least two poignant love stories, one poignant old man, and a tale of irony that is so unusual as to be totally unique.
Do not believe the silly critics who say this story is told to journalism students. This story has never been told before.
This movie was so well written, so well cast, so well directed, so well acted, and so well scored that it can only be characterized as a true "MASTERPIECE".
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, lovely score, no cons
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Laughing for the chicken burrito portion of the movie, fists clenched, tears streaming down my cheeks, rooting for the good guys during the last 2/3s of the movie.
The science they used to setup the premise of the movie was believable.
No words to adequately describe how good the special effects were.
The director got award winning performances out of all cast members.
I felt good when this movie ended. A b s o l u t e enjoyment.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, fun science
Yes, I recommend this movie.
