Not Everything I Hoped For
PostedNovember 30, 2008

This film is being promoted as an "epic", but leaves much to be desired. The musical score and cinematography are over the top trying for that big film appeal. The digitized scenes add a cartoon type animation, and appear all too fake. The storyline has appeal, but certainly could have been told in less than 3 hours. The one redeeming factor is watching Hugh Jackman, but shame on him for participating in this poor impersonation of a real epic.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Another side of Anne Hathaway

Added a new dimension to Anne Hathaway. Generally one to play the "cute girl", this showed her acting ability in a new light. She carried off the "family addict" very well. Also liked the use of a hand-held camera for filming. Made me feel like I was there. This story can be true for many families. You'll enjoy if you're not looking for mainstream.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
