Viewing Notes

Another one I’ve seen back when it was released. Very entertaining. Can’t believe it’s been 12 years already. Everyone is so young. Good choice for the marathon especially during the Olympics and it’s a crowd pleaser. Turns out all competing athletes want the same thing: to fuck, have fun and win.

Previous notes stand:

“Very by-the-numbers sports drama conflict overcoming a challenge movie… based on a true story. That said, this is well-executed and never boring. Every beat is expected and predictable but handled so well. The fantastic leads, Bae Doona and Ha Ji-won, elevate the material and give it punch. Really love this movie and its schmaltz.”
