SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
