Couldn't find a thread on this. Saw it on a plane last night and thought it was OK. Not really a comedy that it's being promoted as, a few light laughs here. In fact most of the humour is derived from the bipolar disorder that affects Damon's character in the movie - a fact which wasn't clear to me until the after the movie. I just thought he was playing everyone in his fraudulent pursuit, right up to the last scene with the whole 11 million versus 9 million discussion (at this point I figured he had another 2 million stashed away somewhere and unaccounted for). Apparently though it was all based on his mental illness.

Highlight for me was seeing Biff Tannen back on the big screen! :)

Anyone else seen it?

alfy!

Yeah, Damon was superb, but the movie wasn't amazing. Still entertaining though.

I saw it last night. Very solid movie and Damon was excellent.
Given that it was based on a true story, I found it quite intriguing. Not an Oscar contender by any stretch but better than most stuff out there.
