Wife and I saw this over the weekend. Just meh... They made a serious effort to tug on the heart-strings. However, very thin story-line and completely whiffed on providing any real context to the phrase "Collateral Beauty", which was not only the title, but a key phrase/moment in the movie... Definite swing and miss...bummer given the cast.

My daughter, her bf, and her best friend went and saw it a week or so ago--they were all crying their eyes out...even just watching the trailer before they went & saw it. I watched the trailer and was unfazed. I guess we aren't their target audience, lol.

My wife and I have long since figured out that no one is marketing to us.

Except maybe The Scooter Store... lol

Do you have a burning desire to invest in gold?

Well, I did think about calling in to NFL and ESPN radio shows to ask them if I bought a ZYPPAH would they kindly take that freaking commercial off the air.


As far as the movie goes, Will Smith doesn't do much for me so I probably won't see it.
