The Lucky Ones
The Lucky Ones is good film with three very good performances (including favs of mine, Rachel McAdams and Tim Robbins) about three Iraq War vets (two on leave, one older guard officer whose term is up) taking a road trip. The story is a mixed bag but the three leads make this movie, including McAdams (great in The Notebook) as one review noted doing an Amy Adams ala Junebug (a very good movie). This is a reason you go to the movies. BTW, McCain is coming off as a bit of an asshole in the debate.
