It’s hard to describe this movie but I would say that it is Forrest Gump without a funny bone.  However, by this statement I don’t mean that it was a bad film, far from it.  It was very enjoyable and a film that should definitely be viewed before you die.  I will add that many a man may struggle with the length and content of this film but if they persevere with it they will be pleasantly surprised at the messages that it has to offer.  Women shouldn’t have this problem but I would like to add that it is not a chick flick.  I enjoyed it, I’m glad I have seen it but probably wouldn’t watch it again and definitely wouldn’t buy it on DVD.

7/10
