Pay It Forward,
anybody else like this movie, or am I just a sap?

I enjoyed it. It was manipulative, but it was a great movie.

I haven't seen it, but IIRC Kevin Spacey stars in the film. If so, then I have to apply my Kevin Spacey theorem. If he's in it, it's probably good. There have been a few exceptions though.
The one actor who as far as I can remember has not made a bad movie is Russell Crowe. Can anybody name a Crowe film that wasn't excellent? |

Yes it was manipulative to a point, but it still was useful. What I enjoyed about it, was its lowkey nature.

As for non-excellent Crowe films, did anyone else see Proof of Life? Not awful, but definitely not excellent. But that might be about it.

Same with that weird Western The Quick and The Dead, with Gene Hackman, Sharon Stone and Leonardo DiCaprio...

I actually liked that film. But then, I like most of Denzel Washington's work.

If I had my choice of watching Pay it Forward or pounding myself in the head with a hammer for two hours, I would take the hammer.

Proof of Life: not so great because of "Love that Joker" Meg Ryan and David "I can't act to save my life" Carusso from CSI: miami.
Virtuosity was a fun movie. I really enjoyed it.
