...it was entertaining and we enjoyed it.

Shouldn't be in the best picture of the year discussions.

I'd put somewhere in the middle of the Cohen's films.

Say 3 out of 5 stars.

Better than "Burlesque" but not "The Fighter".

True Grit will stand up to repeat viewing in a way The Fighter never can. The Coens' writing was so much better, and direction choices too. Fighter was a good show, but once you've seen it once, that's all she wrote. As with most Coens bros films, you will get more out of it each time. I still don't think guys like you and tin "got" this movie on first watch.

  ...perhaps you could explain "it" to me.
  
  There was no emotional involvement with the characters - you didn't really care what happened to them.
  
  The ending was a little strange.
  
  It was amusing and entertaining, and yes, well written and acted.
  
  The "Fighter" had an emotional impact and you cared about the characters which puts it way above True Grit.
