Hell of a film. Infuriated by the critics who scoffed the film for being "too depressing". Wack contrived notion that a film maker has to somehow leave you feeling warm or else the film lacks merit. I like everything by Alejandro González Iñárritu I've seen,
Amores Perros being my favorite. Of course the same critics praise the cheap sentimentality of "Babel"- film reviews are really in Brad Pitts pocket.
Great pure hollywood flick. The overall depiction of alcoholism is cliche, and gets beaten to death but still remains somewhat tasteful. An amiable, albeit bland film that makes sure the whole family can empathize with, what more can you expect from Robert-"forrest gump"-zemeckis. The prevalence of god and all that christian ethereal crap got old real quick too. Certainly well worth watching, the crash scene is very gripping.
