I'm not finished watching it, but I'm certain i hate it.
It's like they went through all the paperwork and email chain from Garden State, took all the rejected ideas, tied them together with montages and oppressively loud soundtrack, and called it a movie.
It'd be about 40 minutes long if they cut out the filler. Instead i'm at an hour and 40 minutes and in disbelief that my tivo says there's another half hour to go.

More than most films on a single subject/source material, I find the Bounty films (1935 with Clark Gable and Charles Laughton, 1962 with Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard, 1984 with Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins) interesting as they all vary in sympathy for Fletcher Christian and the mutiny or William Bligh based on the social conditions at the time of the filming. It's an interesting example where three great films speak either to purity, liberty, individualism, social structure or law and order. It's not always overt, but there definitely worthly of a triple feature weekend.
It should also be noted, you can probably safely skip '89s Mutant on the Bounty.
Since Casablanca was mentioned earlier, another great triple feature is it, Sydney Pollack and Robert Redfords Havanna and Pamela Andersons action/sci-fi Barb Wire (worlds greatest review) which all came from the Casablanca script. The Third Man can also be added as a film that could only be made after it, and is superior in my book.
It was a sappy movie, and so naturally my girlfriend loved it!
I thought it was alright. Adam Sandler's character wore a pair of headphones throughout the film, and I was trying to figure out what kind they were. They were supra-aural's and I was hoping I would see atleast a brandname on them... I enjoyed the film because I felt that if I were in the Sandler's character's predicament, I would feel the same and probably act in the same manner. Also, I really liked the end where Sandler is screaming "reign over me." <----- I will leave it at that, I do not want to spoil it for anyone.
We just watched Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End last night on DVD and it kinda sucked. The first was definitely the best. I'm glad I waited for the DVD (thru local library) and didn't see it in the theatre. I give it a 4/10.

I would give "No Country For Old Men" an 8 out of 10. The movie that I saw before that was "Beowulf" in 3-D IMAX. I would rate that one a 1.5 out of 10.
