    Not what I expected

    by jcoss3

    I was not expecting to like this movie. I didn't even want to. But I couldn't help myself. Heath Ledger was very likeable and his adventure is one that most of us have imagined taking ourselves. I could have done without some of the cornier scenes but they were short enough to overlook. Overall, very entertaining... especially if you go into it not expecting too much.

    It's a dumb summer movie done with smarts.
