enjoyable quality! funny moving winner

This surprising film, delighted! Clever (!) writing. Unexpected events. Top-notch casting. Wow. A spirit booster. OUR AUDIENCE CLAPPED. We did, too. MOST highly recommended.

The movie was enjoyable for the entire family. My wife, daughter, son-in-law, and grand-daughter went. I wish Hollywood would take notice and attempt to make more films (not cartoons, or computer generated) like this!

A sweet, sensitive and convincing movie and one of the few I've seen recently where I actually cared about the characters. The situations and the characters ring true and the acting is great, particularly Rene Zellweger and newcomer Logan Lerman. The project appears to have been a labor of love, and my inclination was to share the emotion. And if an episodic structure somewhat slows down the narrative energy, the special moments more than make up the difference.

This is definitely a sleeper movie with very little press but definitely worth it. Renee and Logan were excellent, as was Nick Stahl in his limited role. It is an autobiographical story of George Hamilton but you really don't even get that until the film's final scene. The characters are so well developed and it is a film you will experience a variety of emotions from laughter, anger, sadness and ultimately one that is inspirational. I was definitely suspect at first and was not really interested when I saw the trailer thinking it to be just another 50s silly movie but was DEFINITELY glad I went.
