I don't get the critic's at all.. This movie was another Ron Howard great in my opinion. Are critic's so narrow visioned that they can't see how so many people from all walks of life can relate to this movie. I think more than ever it's so important to portray real life stories the way they happened "yelling" and all! The actor's were superb as they are some of the very best. Thank you Ron Howard for making this movie. To everyone else watch it, you won't be sorry.
