don't care for Matthew McConaughey.
Are you kidding?!?! He's great in Dazed and Confused! Of course, I think that's the only movie of his I've ever seen so I can't really comment beyond that.
That story is so powerful in itself. From all I've read and seen it looks like they've done a good job telling the story. I'll bet it's a good movie, but I'll probably wait for it to drop on cable. I rarely get motivated to see movies these days ... there's so much crap out there.
