    Best movie in years. Matt Damon is terrific the camera work on him is excellent. His joy, frustration , fears etc. are visible. The child Elle Fanning is so loveable, Scarlet is real T. Church is believable, I loved the movie.

    I liked the movie for myself. It was a real tear jerker, however, I brought my 8 year old twins and 7 of their friends to the movie for their birthday. BAD MISTAKE!! I was extremely dissappointed with the swearwords that were in it. The word "di.." could have been replaced with ass or something not as vulgar. Try explaining that word to seven 8 year olds. Also, there was no reason to bring up the Easter Bunny and not believing. Again,not easy to explain to children and then feel the need to apologize to the parents of the children for what they heard. I do believe the movie should've been PG 13. It's truly ashame, because the movie could have been a complete family movie if it wasn't for th

    I give it 1 star, only because you can't give it 0 stars. It was very long and it dragged on. I felt it was way to predictable. I could have eaten a box of Alphabets and crapped a better movie.

    This was one of the best movies I have seen in many years. Every actor in this one should be very proud of the job they did!! If I had 10 thumbs...they would all be up!!!

    Very enjoyable movie. A different role for Matt Damon, but he did a great job. I recommend you take the whole family to this one - you will not be disappointed.
