1. I haven't seen it yet, BUT...
I'd wager it's not as great as people are making it out to be.

Now, 'Finding Neverland' that movie was just GOLD!

2. what I noticed when I went to see it was this ...

guys with female dates were very quiet. Guys with other guys were roaring.

I have a sick sense of humor so I was roaring louder then they were.

The reason I asked is both my friend and I had numerous guys who had seen it tell us how great it was and wanted to know if we'd seen it and then once we saw it, they didn't really want to talk about it. Like they were embarassed. I have a theory.

Neither did most of the women in the theater that night!

4. Because:
It's in a part of California where even if you live in a shack, you are living better than most of us.

A regular guy, played by the incomparable Paul Giamatti, gets the incredible woman

A scorned woman gets some very physical revenge

And it's a road trip movie, and all road trips are revelatory...........
