My comments: How do you know when yo're rating a movie on its merits or in the way it makes you feel and think? What are the kind of criteria tht people use when writing a movie review? Acting? Stoy? Characters and setting? More and more, for me, it's how it makes me feel and think when I walk out of the darkened auditorium after the credits hae rolled. There were only five of us in the theater, but I don't think there were many more in the other seven auditoriums on this Monday night.
I loved this movie. I loved the actors - Chris Evans is becoming a favorite. I love that it was about a precocious kid. I loved that it had heart ans surprises and even that I shed a tear or two. Was it a great movie? It was for me.
