Well saw the movie in Fairfax, VA (10 miles outside DC), I thought it was very good. I laughed and even got a few tears along the way
The movie theater was huge (stadium seating), and was about 2/3 full, and the Audience laughed when they were suppose to, so I'm guessing most liked it as well.
I tried my best but couldn't find 100 people to go, but I did take 3 other couples with my wife and I. The girls really liked it, the other guys thought it it was 'pretty good'.
I know Affleck caught shit for his crying scenes, but as a married man myself, it isn't a far cry to figure out that I would act pretty much the same way. Ole Ben just can't help he's an ugly crier. If he does end up dating Jennifer Garner (last rumour I heard), those two are going to be a sight at the funeral (anyone catch her ugly crying scene last night on Alias?)
Back to the movie, Affleck's performance WAS good, but way outshined by his supporting cast unfortunately. Little Miss Castro was excellent, and is going to be a heart breaker someday. George Carlin showed his soft side and did so brilliantly, and Liv Tyler was, well, just Liv Tyler, great to watch as always.
ummm, errrr, doh. I think that's about it, besides would have been nice to finish off the evening reading the latest Spidey-BlackCat, but there's no such thing as a perfect night ;)
