FEB

2008

After reading all the reviews & then the movie winning the Golden Globe, felt I had to go see it. And during the first 45 minutes I wondered what all the hype was about because the movie was playing out just like the trailer. I actually thought about leaving more than once. And then after that, it just took off & I fell in love. (Ok, and James McAvoy isn't bad to look at either.) Excellent film. I won't give anything away but just be patient & it definitely worth it.
