April 22, 2009I grew up with a father that was sociopathic on his best days and psychopathic the rest of the time. Being at home with him was a miserable, miserable existence.

March 19, 2009It's good! And it's nice to see a film that complicates things by making both of Rachel McAdams' suitors really decent men with good intentions, even if the story is sappy as all hell.
