 MY REVIEW

I didn't think I would enjoy this movie at all but I took a chance and watched it anyways because you never know,right?  I watched a bit of this last weekend but I ended up having to pause it so many times. Not because I didn't enjoy it but because of phone calls and my dog not behaving so I decided to stop it and watch it an other day.  Anyways I finally watched the entire movie and the features yesterday.  I really liked it . It definitely is a movie that requires your full attention. I love the storyline and then actors.
