This is what happens when you live in a van down by the river.....
Fantastic film. A lot of critics complained about the main character being a little too messianic in the film and I agree as he really wasn't depicted that way in the book(which was excellent also). Charismatic yes just not so christ-like. Emile Hirsch did a great job of carrying this film and Sean Penn did an excellent job behind the camera. The movie was over 2.5 hours and probably could have been edited down a bit. Eddie Vedder's soundtrack was beautiful... I will be picking this up soon.
