I see in Rotten Tomatoes, ratings are 20% Critics, 90% audience. Yet another reason to discard critical opinions many times IMO.
Saw it at the early show at LSL and about 15 in the theater - perhaps 13 were women... I held the door for many of them after the film - my eyes were still damp with the ending - and I joked "Don't look at me ladies..." They all seemed to really like the movie too.
Also> when leaving the theater I realized that the movie had ZERO violence, Zero sex/nudity et al, and if I recall very little profanity. I think it was rated PG, not sure why - but it was refreshing - perhaps not scripted and produced by "Hollywood types".
