I can see why this movie got a lot of Oscar buzz when it was first released. I picked it at my Oscar party to win Best Adapted Screenplay, but it lost to Precious. There were some good performances by the actors too; I especially liked relative newcomer Anna Kendrick, in her role as Natalie Keener. And George Clooney was good, as always. He's irritatingly good. I like him in almost everything he's in, even if I don't want to because sometimes he seems like such a jerk.Anyway, good movie! I thought the relationship aspect of the story was good, and (as T said), "not too saccharine." And it was really fun to look at all the scenery and figure out where in St. Louis it was filmed! Lots of shots of the city!
