very entertaining; not a big RDJ or Jude Law fan, but I was impressed. Rachel McAdams was also very good. Story moved along very well, interesting plot, kept my interest and kept me thinking. Good ending and am hoping there wll be more! RDJ and Law are great together, caped crusaders without the capes.
Went to 10 am show Sunday. Not too many people, but everyone had several - no, many - laugh out loud moments. Meryl Streep owned Julia Child and Amy Adams captured the frustrated 30-year-old who just wanted to have an ambition and see it through. The parallel story lines were interesting and they sequed between them quite nicely. The ending was not what I expected. At first I was a (very) little disappointed. Then realized it made me want to know more about both characters. That, to me, is the sign of a movie that engages its audience. Meryl Streep & Stanley Tucci = Oscars
A movie-lover's movie that brings out every emotion in you. The cinematography is excellent. You are involved in the story the whole time. Haven't seen a movie in months; nothing really compelling, like watching made-for-tv on the big screen. In THIS movie you connect with the character. You don't necessarily identify with them, you are there with them in all of their emotions. Some events are disturbing, but nothing excessive. It's a slice of one boy's life in a very large country. Terrific movie.
