Title: Not what I expected
Review: I'm having trouble understanding all the rave reviews on this one. I'm very happy that films like this one can be made but they just haven't gotten it right yet.I expected MUCH more from this movie after reading the synopsis on it's official website. It dragged in more than a few places (the opening scene, Henry and Grandpa on the porch, Pike preparing countless meals) and left me dry in the end. The Henry/Pike thing didn't work for me at all. It felt very forced.I found myself feeling VERY sorry for Dean in the end. He was never quite honest with himself and ended up settling for something he didn't really want.Overall this film didn't end up being the idealistic fairy tale that it professes to be.
