In my experience as a movie watcher, only E.T., The Karate Kid, and Stand By Me have ever had impact enough to moisten the old tear ducts. Time to add another to the short list.

A great film. I'm too tired to write any more about it at this hour, and I don't think much more needs to be said. It's superb; and while syrupy at parts (which it more than makes up for in its honesty) it's one of those rare films that is enjoyable for both children and adults. Like the aforementioned films, I'll likely watch it again and again. And again and again.

But I have one question: the film's premise revolves around the change from pounds to euros. The only problem is that you still use pounds in the UK, don't you?. I mean, they didn't become obsolete or worthless after the switch over -- as the film suggests --, did they?

I thought the movie was shite. The kid and his naivete were cute... not much else was redeeming... and I'm a huge fan of Trainspotting, liked Shallow Grave, and even 28 Days Later... this one though, for me, you can add it to The Beach and A Life Less Ordinary.

Yeah we do, and at the moment there is no plans for a change. Tony is keen but we're in a different Economic cycle to the rest of Europe, signing up now could potentially spark a nasty reccession in the not to distant future.

(The same thing may happen to Ireland, when spending decreases I think, i've been out of the economic loop for a while)

I went and watched it at a DVD bang last night and didn't find any scene worth crying over. Maybe the mother-son spiritual reunification near the end. I bawled in the first 3-4 viewings of Forrest Gump and ET, but I didn't find this particularly moving, save for some parts that felt a little contrived.

I dug that movie. I loved the kids, especially the older brother who buys his friends sunglasses and pays them to jog alongside his bike like G-men. There were parts I found a little weak, but all in all, very touching. I don't know if I cried, but there were moments where my eyes may have *sparkled* a little.

I watched it, found it to be moderately pleasant. I had great expectations going in, perhaps that's why I was underwhelmed. I do seem to have a wonderful ability to be disappointed by movies that I know are supposed to be excellent, which is thankfully counterbalanced by the ridiculous enjoyment I get out of movies which most people think are terrible.

For example, I never really get into anything made by the Coen Bros. However, I have an irrational love for movies such as Vampires, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Mortal Kombat. I guess it balances out in the end.
