Enjoyment: Clever, intricate, dramatic, funny. Amazing visuals. I have a hard time imagining how anyone might not like this movie. It's been more than five years since the last time I watched it, and I was a little worried that it wouldn't hold up - like a lot of other movies I loved when I was a teenager. Nope, still great. A+

GPA: 4.0/4
