I didn't know what to expect, some wrote the film was great and some said it was liberal garbage. After watching "The Lucky Ones" last night, I can tell you my wife and I were both floored. The negative reviews are from morons who never saw the film, but feel the need to express their opinion because Tim Robbins is playing a soldier in the film.

It stars Robbins, Rachel McAdams who was good in Red Eye and The Notebook to name a couple and Michale Pena who was the locksmith in Crash and the guy stuck underground with Nick Cage in World Trade Center. It's directed by Neil Burger, whose previous film was the very good The Illusionist with Edward Norton.

It's a very, very good film, 8 stars by me. It's not about Iraq, it's not about the Army, it's not about soldiers. If you liked films like "Sideways, Little Miss Sunshine or Borat", you should like the "Lucky Ones". It came out on DVD Jan. 27th.

I will check out "The Lucky Ones". Continue to pursue 'RocknRolla'; best movie I've seen in quite a while.
