Kind of good, kind of weird. A great cast!!! I think the story had a lot of potential. I don't quite get the climatic ending, as it was actually pretty anti-climatic. Forest Whitaker is a favorite of mine. J Hud's role was much smaller than I had hoped. I felt for the young man who didn't speak after the incident. Dakota is a great little Actor, but I couldn't feel for her character at all. She seemed way too strong and too emotionless. The single mom story line was kind of Hollywood stereotypical. She lived in a trailer, neglected her child, and needs a man in her life. That really upsets me. Perhaps as a single mom myself, it's an area I am sensitive about. I know I have and would do anything for my son, and he's always come first.

I don't see why there was even the Munchhausen's story line. It was a little weird, and hard to follow, but I guess I find that syndrome itself weird and hard to understand. Were they trying to say this was a result of the diner incident? He needed to be a hero perhaps?

All in all it was a pretty good movie. It fell a little short of greatness, I think because of that "big secret", that turned out to be not that big of a deal...

Great story! Great cast! There were enough twists & turns to really keep me guessing. A very worthwhile film. If you have not seen it yet...you really should!

I really liked this movie. Good story, well acted. Def worth seeing.

Oh my gosh! I loved this movie so much!!! It had everything...love & lust, commitment & infidelity, pleasure & pain, youth & wisdom, friendships & relationships. Even life & death. This movie was deeply interesting and beautiful. I highly recommend it. Much better than many films I've seen lately. Vicky Christina Barcelona...does't hold a candle to this one! He was so caught up in her beauty, he never understood how much she really loved him. He never took the time to appreciate WHO she was on the inside. I've known many men who could learn a lesson about looking inside... LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!
