Yes it held up very well, but I took a buddy who hadn't seen it. Thing was, his wife would have made him watch the Oscars, just the sort of thing he hates, and this was the only excuse that could have gotten him out of the house.Earlier he had had to watch the Golden Globes with her...
Well, he liked it even more than me and more importantly became a convert to my way of thinking, that movies are best seen, by far, in their intended locales: Theatres. He understood how this one especially wouldn't work at home.
Anyone wanna fight?
