i just got back from the movie and i thought it was not as good as i had hoped. It was so slow and there were so many awkward moments, especially when she said . "after spending time with your dad, i think i want to work in special ed now." who the hell says that? I love Amanda seyfried and i thought her acting was good and Channing tried, but he was kind of flat. Watch him in A Guide to Recognizing your saints, he was amazing in that.

The movie dragged a lot. i did like the scene of John reading the letter to his dad. that was very touching and very well acted.

It made loads of money this weekend, but i really don't think it's a good movie.
