Just amazes me how people can see the same movie and have totally opposite opinions. I thought this was a typical Hollywood manipulative melodrama with stilted acting and a plot that made me laugh several times from its absurdity. Brad Pitt reminded me of those "good looking" dudes in high school who got the babes but now they're pumping gas. If you thought this movie was great, more power to you but it's sad to think that this movie is at the pinnicle for a lot of people. That means you're missing some great movies and books out there... COuldn't pan this movie enough. One star is too many!
