This movie was a solid film. (Of course, after watching Hamlet, watching paint dry would have looked interesting). All kidding aside, this was a good movie. The story moved along nicely and the plot took us by surprise. I thought that the film would be a rags to riches story but the movie did not turn out that way at all. The movie closed in a surprising fashion and totally caught me off guard. I also got a chuckle out of watching the movie in light of the election. Overall, this is a film that you should watch at some point in your life.

 

Joel

Favorite: I liked the fast pace of the movie. The scenes were tight and did not drag on.

Least Favorite: I wanted to root for Willie but found out that I couldn't.

 

Callie

Favorite: It was very entertaining.

Least Favorite: The story was depressing. There were no honorable characters. It lacked a character with redeemable qualities.
