When I was still in New York City, I saw the trailer to this movie twice or thrice and I immediately wanted to see it. It premiered actually on my birthday but was not able to see it in San Francisco … mainly because it would cost me $10 for that.
So when I came back here in Cebu, I asked around if it was already shown on the local theater but to it wasn’t. So I was happy about that.
After finally obtaining a copy, I watched it on that same night. Alright I admit that the copy wasn’t of top quality but at least I did get to see what the movie was.
It was actually like watching The Pursuit of Happyness where the setting was in New York City instead of San Francisco. The story was nice even though it was for more than two hours and at times it became such a bore.
I guess, for both movies actually, I was a bit disappointed even if the story very nice because of the intense feeling of wanting to see it right away. Don’t get me wrong … the movies were still worth watching … but at some time, I couldn’t help but feel very sleepy. 😀
