Very, very entertaining. That’s two verys. (Scarlett Johansson kinda reminded me of Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz for some reason. I need to analyze that a little bit.)

All right, Hoffman, you’re the very first person who said this movie wasn’t a total piece of dogshit. Are you SURE it’s not just because you love the Woodman and are giving him a pass based several other decades worth of good service, excluding 2000 and beyond?
Because if you say so, I will go see it. It’s playing down the street from me for $4.50. Which is tempting. The $4.50 part. The movie from what I’ve heard…not so much.
I found it very enjoyable — a Sunday afternoon in 95 degree weather type movie. I stand by my B+.
Maybe it goes on a little long . . .and it’s not like you don’t know what is going to happen after the first 30 seconds. . .but I liked it.
point taken. the next balmy 95 degree that hits, i’ll most likely be there with my $4.50 in hand. woody’s been on the fence for me for about the last four movies (including match point which was a marked improvement but still not enough to get me re-excited), so now i have to interrogate people who’ve seen them first before going.
