Did anyone like this movie? I thought it was great. A personal note, Jeff Daniels was a very much like my own father... maybe that's why I connected with the movie so much.

One of my favorite recent movies. I love the way Walt pretends to have read Kafka's The Metamorphosis when he talks to his girlfriend.

Yeah, that was hilarious... that and the whole Pink Floyd thing.

I felt as though the movie just...ended. I mean, one minute he's looking at the fighting squid and whale, and the next we're looking at the credits.
Funny thing, there was a giant squid model (life size) at the Natural History Museum where I grew up and that thing terrified me.

I think it ended on Walt's realization of the relationship of his parents.

I should probably watch it again before saying this, but...I just felt as though there was more to be resolved. Then again, I like closure...so whatever.

Yeah, it's something I think my father would do.

It's especially disturbing if you remember the fact that Pacquin played Daniels's daughter in Fly Away Home.

I just saw this recently too and I thought it was great. One of the funniest movies I've seen lately. But I was always more scared of the big blue whale model than the squid and the whale fighting (although that's pretty scary too). I just can't BELIEVE how big those damn whales are.
