My bride and I just got back from seeing Gran Torino. We loved it! The supporting acting wasn't as strong as I had anticipated, but it wasn't too distracting. Clint was as rough, gruff, and tough as I had hoped. The movie didn't drone and was well paced and I really enjoyed the story. I recommend seeing it if you have any interest in going.
I do have a rant, though. Please turn off your frickin' cell phones- or better yet, learn how to turn them off! There were two folks sitting directly in front of us who couldn't seem to figure out how to turn off their cell phone even after two incoming calls. Somebody kept calling these seniors and they just let their phone ring, and ring, and ring.
Several of us asked them politely to turn the phone off but they looked at us like we were speaking a foreign language. Maybe they didn't understand English? I was waiting for ol' Walt to start growling from the silverscreen, point that M-1 straight at the lady and snarl, "Turn the damned thing off, Grandma!"
Seriously, if you don't know how to use the damned things, keep 'em in the car and out of the theater. It's very impolite to allow your phone to ring while others who paid good money are trying to enjoy their movie.
Okay, I'm done complaining. As you were.
