I have had enough of everybody keep on telling me how good Bullock is in this film, so i have to watch it once i got the DVD from my fren. After the 2 hours film, hmmm~ what should i say? No doubt Bullock is a good actress, but for me, she's more on the goofy doofy comedy thingy. I dont really find how good she is in the film.

I mean, maybe its time Oscar reward this great actress a gift? ; or is it becoz of the character she's acted in? U know la~ American is going "color" nowadyas, president black, winner black, this black that black... no wonder the "Leigh Anne" character is kinda attracting for helping out the poor black people...

Don't you think so?
