Man...I'm glad I didn't put too much stock in the scathing reviews I found on the 'ole interweb! I thought the movie was cute, entertaining, and well worth the trip to the theater. Robert Downey Jr. is always going to be worth paying to see; the man's amazing, weird accent and all. The other cast members all gave very good performances as well. We all giggled quite a few times throughout and teared up as well. It's a fun, easygoing flick - very appropriate for my eleven year old son. Sheesh, the critics gotta stop overthinking it sometimes.
