    Superb- sad that a movie with zero negative comments can't even get a theatrical release!
    Hollywood annoys the heck outta me. Big studios release garbage, garbage, and even more garbage! I don't think there is one negative comment on this movie at the site here! Do you know how rare that is?! This is the first movie I have EVER seen on this site without a single bad comment! Why, then, doesn't this movie get a theatrical release? Is it true what we all have thought for years? Is everyone in Hollywood THIS stupid? This blind?! Anyhow...this is a great movie. Brannagh is just perfect for the role, and he's very charming (maybe one of the most charming actors around.) He has a certain kindness about him, and you can't help but be drawn to his character here. The rest of the cast is also just great, especially the young girl who I have never seen before (and I can't figure out why, since she's such a good actress.) It's a very smart film, and it's written very nicely. Even when Brannagh's character is pissed all the time in the beginning, you still can't help but like him. Then, he starts to change, and becomes warmer, and it's even easier to like him. A great story, some very funny dialogue, and intelligence...this is just a wonderful movie all-around.
