I absolutely loved this movie. I really never was that much into Brad Pitt, but boy he is becoming quite the man. He reminds me of a young Robert Redford which I think I have heard others say. He does an excellent job playing the character of Benjamin. This was a long movie and I was very happy that it was because the story was exceptional. I will buy this movie when it comes out.

Thanks for the review, redcomet. I'm still angry with Brad and his treatment of Jen but I will watch this movie once the library orders it.

LOL - And I thought I was the only one who felt this way. While part of me is dying to see this movie and thinks Brad Pitt is gorgeous, a larger part of me thinks this is the guy who cheated on his wife while making another movie - and the woman in question said at the time she would NEVER have an affair with a married man since that's what her father did to her mother.

Snort!!
I'm afraid there isn't enough do gooding that Pitt and Jolie can do, or no movie I want to see bad enough that will make me get past what the two of them did.

I have always loved Brad, Jennifer and Angelina separately for their work. Entertaining at at times fun.

However, I think Jen is a head case when it comes to relationships. I think she pulled a bait and switch with Brad that helped to sour him on their marriage. I remember when friends was over both of them stood up at a party for the show and the interviewer asked her what was next for her and she said "babies". She mentioned having a few projects in the works but that they were going to focus on "babies". She changed her mind and a few projects (as it turned out) became 3 years of movies and guest appearances on shows. Also the feelings she had over her parent's separation and ultimate divorce when she was a child made her worry about whether she could do family. These are her words.

I think Brad was clear that he wanted them to have a family and could not deal with her waffling back and forth so he moved on.

Now he's not blameless because his heart checked out early to get together with Angie but I think primarily Jennifer is responsible for where she is now in her life. And dating another head case like John Mayer ain't raising her up in my estimation any.

As for Cruise. Talented but a major big mouth. Won't see Valkyrie but would see other stuff of his if he gets his career back on track making stuff folks want to see for escapisim value

I agree with a lot of you regarding Brad Pitt. I have always liked him until he left Jen for Angelina. I don't like Angelina Jolie because I think she is a weird and very selfish person. She is beautiful, but I think she is a head case herself. Look at her background and men she has been involved with. I just don't respect her, especially since she admitted to falling in love on Mr. and Mrs. Smith set.
Also a personal thing that really bothers me about her is that she has adopted too many kids too fast. I have an adopted daughter from Russia and I was educated on how my husband and I needed to bond with her. Bonding takes time and you need to have a structured/stable home. There have been many books and professionals that have stated the importance of taking time to bond with children who come from instutional settings. I have always wondered why adopt and have natural children so fast. Its like they are in a hurry. If it were me, I'd spend at least a year with each adopted child before adopting again. Give the child a sense of security and more one on one time before having more. Just my opionion
