Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

manikabahuguna It's emotional without being corny. It's poetically human, with a beautiful cast that comes together to perform a perfect medley of struggles, challenges, hope and purpose. The movie follows an unexpectedly long road trip that intertwines the lives of the leading trio. Next we see a journey that unravels friendship and togetherness, in a way that is more lifelike and detours from the usual melodramas and theatrics of cinema. It's so relatable. The movie beautifully depicts new friendships that arise from the least expected, unforeseen circumstances - and how simple friendships can help us wade through tumultuous life situations. The cast does a wonderful job in bringing out the essence of the script - a humanizing take on the lives and journeys of three army folks, set in the background of a post war break (it's supposed to be based on the Iraq war, although it's not mentioned in the movie). Don't miss it.

kosmasp It's not about where you go ... it's about the way/road and how you are going to cross that, to get there. In other words, it's about the journey. It's about the fact, that while you are on your way, things (and maybe you) will change. It's about your flaws, about your personality and how you that will mix up with other people. It's about a story written in a great way and played by some great actors.Rachel McAdams has the looks, but she also has the talent. You might not agree with the political statements Tim Robbins makes, but you can't fault his acting abilities. I forgot the name of the third lead, but I have seen him in a quite a few movies and he does deliver here too. A story more about the people, than any political statement. And that might be something, that some people will miss out in this. Like "what is the point?".But that's exactly it. How can you explain life? How can you explain fully what you (or the characters in this case) are doing? You just can't. So the director (and screenwriter) stay true to just tell the story. And this works very fine.

benbree This is excellent. This movie is a great example of how those in the military take care on one another. After my five years of military service as a Marine, I have found no other organization that works so well. This was a great example of how we (those in the military) get it done each and every day. It also illustrates that in the military we learn to work with both men and women and all colors. It is a simple matter of what is required to get the job done. Thanks for a good example of life in and out of the military.The characters were true to form and based on my experience showed the way it really is as one tries to adapt and adjust to live after returning from a deployment. It was so smart to include a woman and to write the lines in such a way to show that she was an equal. While only a newbie to the military, she demonstrated life experiences and knowledge that helped the more senior members of the cast. A great job of balancing and showing that life experiences help those in the military deal with situations.I do not think I can say enough how much I enjoyed watching this movie and experiences the life of military members through the characters in this film. Again, great job!

Brian Wright Kind of a road picture for soldiers home from the Iraqi front, I don't think writer/director Neil Burger intends to make an antiwar statement... but pretty much any human being with a heart will take it as such. The quote above, "No, thank YOU," occurs at several points in the story as these three soldiers, on leave—Fred Cheaver (Tim Robbins), T.K. Poole (Michael Peña), and Colee Dunn (Rachel McAdams)—make their way across the US. What happens is they have a transaction with a civilian who learns they're from the front, and the soldier will say thank you to end the exchange, to which the civilian will say, "No, thank YOU." With emphasis, expressing the fairly common sentiment that we have toward those in uniform....For my complete review of this movie and for other movie and book reviews, please visit my site TheCoffeeCoaster.com.Brian Wright Copyright 2009
