D-Dad and I are going to see this tonight. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of sentiment to give Peter O'Toole the Best Actor Academy Award (he turned down and honorary Oscar a few years back because he still wanted to win one for his acting), and I want to see just how much of a contender he is.

This was a good film, although not a great one. But the acting is strong, and I think that O'Toole has a very solid shot at that elusive Oscar. It's talky, not as light as the trailer will lead you to believe, and at times feels a little voyeuristic. It won't suffer from the small screen if you wait. But my suspicion is that most of you will give it a miss unless you're specifically watching it for O'Toole.

Saw it this weekend on video. Pretty good script. O'Toole and the loutish girl he is infatuated with were both good.
