I saw the movie and it was loads of fun!!!

I think it says a lot about Sam to do all sorts of movies, not for the acclaim but for the entertainment value. And this movie was entertaining. No dull moments, but instead a story that brought you in from the start. No, the movie does not have the most realistic story line, but neither does pirates nor a lot of other of this years 'hits'. You'll enjoy this movie if you see it, just don't try to critiuque the realism.

Oh, BTW Sam doesen't need the money and turns down most of the films he is offered. He's one of the most difficult actors to predict what roles he will and won't take. Many times when he's offered one role, he agrees to do the movie only if he can use be a different role that was never intended for him. He's just a great actor who makes some 'interesting' decisions.
