Notes et avis

loved this movie. The characters are memorable and the acting is great, especially from Jim Carrey. One thing that might scare people is the runtime, clocking in at two and a half hours, but if you do watch it, I guarantee you'll love every minute of it.

The highest streaming quality for the movie was 380p and my tv is a 1080p flatscreen so it basicly looked like crap. Thanks google play for screwing me out of two bucks and ruining a great movie.

From the beginning I let the plot sink in, but after the climax, I was overcome by the love and characters in this movie. One major point, American Service Members selflessly sacrifice their lives, past and present.
