Was entertaining enough for my flight home. Yeah, I enjoyed it; at least while not exactly sober on a 4 hour flight, it fit the bill.

I like Crowe and the title describes him at times. My favorite movie of this genre is Duel, 1971 starring Dennis Weaver. Spielberg's debut I believe.

Gerard Butler (who has also done some eating) played Leonidas. Crowe played Maximus Decimus Meridius.

OOPS, I got them mixed up, my bad.

Meh, it was borderline of being decent and disappointing. Has Crowe really gotten that big or is it the magic of Hollywood making him appear to be Jabba the Hut?

Finally watched it with the smokin hot Wife last night, it is now free on Amazon.

Entertaining enough, the wife was laughing like it was a comedy. She hates crappy drivers. I think she applauded when the lady putting on her makeup while driving got wasted

A little over the top but enjoyable . I liked his don't give a dang attitude!

I saw pictures of him on the set. Before and after he put his outfit on. He had a fat suit on for his character. He actually looked decent in his normal clothes.

I loved the movie. I was rooting for Russell the whole time. Just about all of the problems that lady had in her life were caused by herself.
