<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>Good movie. Unique movie that was done incredibly well. Not predictable at all. One of the best older movies I have seen in qhite a while. Definily a movie to see with a girl, not because it is a chick flik, but because it's a very good movie that both would enjoy. Some would say it is entirely a chick flik because of the underlying love story, but I would have to disagree. All in all, a great movie that everyone should see at some time or another.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>So did The Postman, and that was another excellent movie. See, when a reviewer sees a long movie, he automatically equates "long == bad".</div>

The Postman was Kevin Costner's shitty attempt at self-deification. And where do you get off saying this nonsense about critics and long movies?

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold", Modern; text-align: left; '>Don't listen to them. It's a love story, but a great twist on one with an incredible Anthony Hopkins and pretty damned good Brad Pitt and Claire Forlani (of course, she's always DAAAAAAMN good :-)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold", Modern; text-align: left; '>That's debatable. The love story could be considered as a driving force for the "self-discovery" story (it's in quotes 'cause I couldn't think of a better term at 3am)</div>
They already come in with their opinion of long=bad, but they REALLY need to be impressed to say otherwise.
