I saw Grand Torino with no expectations and was surprised at how much I liked it. Yes parts of it seem a bit contrived, but overall an interesting feel good movie. One of my favorite parts about the movie is when Clint and his friend "man up" the hmong (sp?) boy.

We have a couple of groups of friends who went to the Benjamin Button movie, all of them disliked it. One of them thought so poorly of the film that she renamed it to Benjamin Butthead.
