I can hardly wait to see what the "boy's" opinion is of a age difference when he is 57 and looking for another partner.
So what if it's easy for Bridges to play the part. (Oh . . . it was easy for Michael Jordan 'cause he can jump so high in real life.) What other actor could do this part?
Unlike most of these kind of movies I wanted more music. The singing/music was a big surprise to me . . I was expecting it.
Put it down: Bridges WINS the Oscar.
