Best movie of this year hands down!
To me, this movie is perfection.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
