This film has gotten so much flack due to the casting, so I went into it with a great deal of skepticism. I was a big fan of I love Lucy growing up, so I wasn't expecting much of the film. I have to say, I thought it was really good. Aaron Sorkin's directing was compelling and it was very well written. Nicole Kidman was very good at recreating Lucille Ball's voice. I also thought that Javier Bardem did a great job. So, for anyone who is not thinking of seeing the film due to casting, I urge them to think again.
