I would imagine that this movie will be under the radar, but it was terrific. All parts were well played. While it was laugh out loud at times, it had a cohesive theme and plot. We felt good coming out of that movie.
The great thing about Robin Hood is that you have a bit of leeway with the story. I thought that this was a good take on developing the Robin Hood legend rather than taking it as a given.
Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett were great, but there was no spark between them. Maybe in a sequel??
Great scenery. Would love to know where it was all shot.
I saw this movie with the expectation that it would be in the same genre of the Judd Apatow movies of outrageousness. Although it met this criteria in a couple of ways, it was a more level comedy, entertaining with a good love story set in the 80s. The lead actor Jesse Eseinberg (sp?) was very good as the kid whose parents have money problems and he has to revise his summer plans (europe) for a stint at a local amusement park. His honesty was funny and refreshing in the role. The supporting cast added to the enjoyment and I thought that the movie was well written. Not too trite or over the top
