I have the DVD, but I haven't had the chance to sit down and watch it. Has anybody seen the movie yet?

I haven't seen this movie, but I watched a John Krasinski cut of it (the funniest clips of John from the movie) on YouTube and it looked pretty silly. He's got really funny hair in the movie which was kinda distracting. But it's John, so you know it's all good

The movie wasn't exactly what I was expecting. The characters weren't charismatic, except for John. Gideon was very different from what John's characters are normally like. I love how John is always the best thing about his movies, he never disappoints.

Oh, thanks for that report! That's kinda what I was thinking from the clips that I had seen.

It is kinda awesome that John can take even a crappy movie and make it worth watching just by being in it

Yes, but too bad it is happening a lot lately. A New Wave, License To Wed. But I'm looking forward to Leatherheads and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, I have high expectations for both of them

I just saw it tonight. It wasen't really that great, the Desmond/Jule storyline bored me to death. But John was hilarious in it as per-usual.
