This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen and maybe one of the worst made. Judd Apatow did such a great job with Knocked Up that this movie is an embarassment. There are a couple of funny parts, but don't waste the time to see it.
The trailer for this movie made it out to be a "must see", the all star cast was a plus, but the story was way too predictable and a little far fetched. Joaquin Phoenix's character is the most unbelievable and biggest let down.
This being a true story makes it worth seeing, the ending was a bit unexpected, which added to the shock value. It was a little slow at times, but that didn't hurt the overall progress. Denzel was perfect for the part and Russell Crowe fit in pretty well with him.
