TheTime Traveler's Wife

As it seems I can barely string a coherent sentence together nowadays, this isn't a review - just my feelings about the move. 

I've been waiting a couple of years for this movie to come out, but after reading the reviews, I decided I would't see it. My attempt at movie abstinence lasted about 2 weeks (that seems to be about the longest I can abstain from anything - well, anything that matters). 

Turns out, I should have stayed home and waxed my legs.  Eric Bana was the biggest disappointment of the movie for me.  (Hmm...I think I said the same thing after watching Star Trek.)  I've seen him play some pretty intense roles, so I know he can do it, yet his Henry was, for the most part, bland and boring. I thought that Rachel McAdams was fairly impressive as Claire.  Thanks to her, I was wiping away tears as I walked out of the theatre.  Fortunately, the last scene in the book was omitted, or I would have been sobbing.

Also annoying was the fact that a couple of middle-aged women (who obviously hadn't  read the book) in the theatre kept giggling when Henry would appear naked.  Fine, Eric Bana has a really nice ass, but grow up already.

If any of you decide to see this movie, I'd suggest you read the book instead.  It's truly a beautiful story.  Heartwrenching, but beautiful.
