Spoiler free.

  1. Remember I (heart) Huckabees? Dustin Hoffman is making some terrific offbeat choices in his movie career.
  2. My irrational fondness for Will Ferrell has increased threefold.
  3. Those Gyllenhaal kids came from quite the gene pool. What a couple o’ hotties.
  4. If well done, stories about how you can’t escape fate make for great movies.
  5. Pay attention, people. Tell a girl you like her cookies (that is not a metaphor) and sing her a little song and you WILL get lucky. Duh.

I really, really, really liked this movie. I loved Emma Thompson, Queen Latifah, the guy who played the best friend, the story, the writing, the staging, the wacky graphic effects, everything. Loved it. I would say more, but I promised spoiler free, and spoiler free I shall remain. Go see it.

    I saw an interview with Emma Thompson about this movie. I promptly put it on my ‘to see’ list. It’s good to have your recommendation as well :).

    Convincing write-up, I’ll see if I can find it here in the Outpost.
