Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close Film 26/50

Before I can begin discussing this film, I need to explain a few things. First, I loved the book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. LOVED IT. Jonathan Safran Foer did a phenomenal job writing his novel, and I felt unbelievably conflicted when I heard that they were making a movie out it.

Then I saw the trailer. And I found myself even more conflicted. Tom Hanks? Sandra Bullock? For real? At least the unknown they had cast as Oskar looked like the boy I'd imagined while reading the book.

So it took me a while to get around to seeing this one. I'd heard mixed reviews. But I'm glad I eventually got around to seeing it. While I didn't love it as much as the book, it had its moments.
