I am north right now and saw it yesterday. We got sidetracked while we were supposed to be finishing up Christmas shopping.

Loved the movie. Lots of racing and beautiful cars, but also really good character development.

Ken Miles was quite an interesting guy. Born to drive those fabulous machines, smart as could be, adored his family, not easy to deal with, especially when it came to corporate dictates. The juxtaposition of Miles' personality to that of the self-serving weasel exec from Ford who tries to sabotoge things makes you root even more for Miles. (Also, Christian Bale sure is a cutie -- hard to believe this is the guy who also played Cheney in the movie Vice)

A whole lot of Vroom Vroom, but I liked that part, too.
