Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Why did they have to off Tom Hanks when they have someone as worthless and one-note as Sandra Bullock sitting right there???

Is this movie as heavy-handed as that Adam Sandler 911-exploitation movie "Reign Over Me"?

How did you turn it off if it just hit theaters today?

watched it on an academy screener dvd.

dude... if you thought Reign Over Me was heavy-handed, this movie's like a damn anvil being dropped on your head.

I dont have a problem with having 9/11 as a theme in movies. Those stories need to be told at some point. Ofcourse it would be nice if the studio would send some of the profits the families way, and I have no idea if that's happening or not. I'm just saying I wont be immediately put off by a movie just because it contains 9/11 plotlines, I just want them to do it right.

Either way based on what you guys have said I think I will pass on this on. I have sat through 2 horrible movies in the past week and I dont want to make it 3for3.

I can't believe this was nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award.

Actually, I can. Political correctness strikes again.

Saw this weekend. Overall, non-engaging movie. The kid is a good actor but I just wanted to smack him most of the time.

The only good thing about the movie was that the Black couple got back together.

Ditto. Would have liked to find out what was in the box, too.
