This movie was so great! So touching! Luke Wilson did a great job & was so convincing that I forgot he was acting! Would recommend this to everyone I know! Must see!!!
I absolutely loved it...I went with 7 friends and we all had good comments. I would recommend it to10 yrs and older. It had a good message and it was touching. :]
This is a GREAT movie! I did not know anything about it when we went, just that I liked Luke Wilson and was so pleasantly surprised. My kids loved it too!
Why are the great movies getting no press. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time..Overall, the summer has not had the best movies, but this one is without a doubt worth seeing, and I... 'll buy it when it comes out on DVD. Great characters, strong acting, great story and all held together by a beautiful story line. Don't miss it.....5 stars Full Review
