I finally rented this flick after hearing how great it was.I wasn't disappointed in the least! This movie really moved me. It made laugh so hard I was pounding the floor! The characters were so well played and reminded me of people I knew growing up. And the ending had me just a little bit choked up. I didn't cry though.
Anyway, excellent movie. Not depressing or over the top.

Follow Ups:
I had a 180 degree different reaction.I'd read the great reviews and rented the movie. Man
was I disappointed. I didn't find any form of the "relationship"
between the Matthew Broderick and Laura Linney characters
believeable *at all*. After she left the house in the
middle of the night because he called -- we just shut it
off in disgust.If you're going to make people clueless, give them a
believable motivation, is all I can say. Worst thing
I've seen Linney do, and Matthew Broderick, never again.Maybe I should just blame the writers tho.
My two cents.

Sounds like it was another one done in Super 35 (for more info, check the search engine- I had a discussion about this already).Did the people who noticed the mike see it in wide screen or in regular 'formatted to fit your TV'full frame? If it appears on the TV frame version, and NOT the wide screen, you can almost bet it was shot in Super 35!
Get it up Mr. Gaffer!!!! Watch your boom! hehehe...

I saw it in the theater release so it was framed for widescreen there.Doug Schneider
A good movie with some "matter of fact" performances that are, perhaps, too real to be considered movie acting (notice how over-the-top actors always get the accolades? -- "whooooo, whaaaaa" for example).However, this is a movie where I would have liked to have seen a digital effect put in...in particular, there are two scenes where the microphone dips VERY far into the frame -- VERY far. In this age of digital gimmickry could they not send those few frames for a "touch-up" so that it does not detract from the movie? This movie is very involving and realistic and those errors suddenly drove the point home -- oh yeah, I'm watching a movie!

I've only seen the movie once -- in a theater.I was so taken in by it -- captivated, let's say -- I never even noticed the microphone. Kinda like the way I end up ignoring the clicks and pops on an old vinyl record if it's Billie Holliday doing the music.
On my list to see again, definitely. I guess I'll be looking for that damn microphone this time, thanks to you! ;-)
The microphone that is.

Ok....PERHAPS they fixed it up on later cuts. But the portion I remember the most is when the Matthew Broderick character is having an across-the-table discussion with Amy Ryan. This is in his office I believe.Doug
I'm wondering if the projectionist in your theater knew this and framed it with this in mind. I've seen this happen many times, even in VERY big-budget movies (The Insider for example). But in this movie the microphone dropped in well over a foot into the screen. You could see the whole microphone and the boom attachment!!!Doug
