Pretty good movie, really. I teared up once, and giggled a few times. Worth the $6 pay per view via DirecTV
Couple thoughts:
First - Bob Downey does a great job - except...man, I cannot stop seeing him as Tony Stark. Some of the dialog felt contrived. Another neat aspect is having a mentally-challenged (no, not a liberal) character. One thing about that - Nothing mattered with him being in the movie. He didn't contribute as much as I thought he COULD have.
Secondly - Movie ends a little different than I anticipated. The female love-interest Tony - erp...I mean Bob Downey has is really attractive in my view; the character and the actor Vera Farmiga. She has a fantastic 'real' look to her - not a typical photoshop/classic beauty, but a nice, every-town attractiveness. That carries well to screen. She does not seem over-shadowed by Tony-erp...Bob.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
