Intelligent movie about men, 16 February 2003
10/10
Author: rosepol from Denver

This is one of those few good movies about men. The others --

Talk to Her, Smoke, for examples -- have male directors and

writers. Not this one. The director carries the movie -- except for

Julianne Nicholson, who deserves at least an Oscar nomination.

The focus is on men: family relations, ties to work, handling of

women, difficulty in expressing or handling emotion, resort to

physical outlets. All of which seem natural and understandable in

the context of the characters and setting of the movie. It is a

coming of age movie about a young adult male.

Despite the lack of car crashes, the movie gets its top rating from

young adult males, and, despite the importance of women and

romance, it gets its lowest ratings from women over 30. They both

know what they want and know when they get it. A guy film --

sensitive, nuanced, realistic, conflicted, and uplifting.
