Heath! I miss Heath Ledger!
Once I got over my initial grief, I remembered how mixed my feelings were about this movie. It has all the right things to make it a fun story with a great cast. But the random rock music and the "beautiful" chick who really isn't that pretty... ugh. It's got it's weak points. And I think a lot of people discredit it completely for these shortcomings. In truth, Ledger's great and the story is a heartwarming one. It's no worse than any other adventure/comedy/light period movie.
Except for the damn rock music. It almost seems like they tried to hard to make it unique, when they didn't need to at all. For what it's worth, I actually don't despise this movie. It's not a favorite, but it was fun to revist and see Heath's effortless acting at play once again.
