This movie was a bit of a suprise. The trailer does not do the story justice. If you are ecpecting fast paced action then this is not a movie for you. This is an actual movie with an actual story. I loved it! Toby's tranformation in this movie is amazing, he has blossomed in to a real actor one that does not have to depend on special effects to hold your interest in the movie. Jake played a very different character then he usually does and he did it well. Natalie would not have been my first choice for the wife, she does a lot of sad puppy dog face and crying not a lot of acting on her part. There are many very moving scenes in the movie, if you have a heart bring a hanky it will make you cry.
I enjoyed the movie, it was nice to see a move that had more story in it than special effects. I felt the movie was moving; it gives you an insight into the characters that the other movies did not. It brought back all those horrible memories of high school and puppy love. I would rate this among my 3 favorite HP movies.
