I love you guys and am always honest with you, and when I tell you this wasn't my kind of movie, it just wasn't. I found it hard to get into, and it was slightly *yawn* to me. A ton of people apparently love this movie, but I have to admit to you, I was not one of them. Please comment if you have watched it, what you thought of it!?
