joseph gordon levitt is within of my favorite actor working today.onal perform's but also keeping it very comedic. seth rogan plays himself like he does in every movie but he is so funny in this. i laughed out loud at lost a dozen times. >> how many times did you cry? >> i didn't necessarily cry but there are sequences where it is getting very serious. you are like oh, my gosh, what happened to the comedy and than they hit you with the quick witted dialogue. i gave it a four and a half out of five. >> excellent. >> i highly, highly recommend it. >> got about a machine left. this hooks interesting. -- got about a minute left. >> it is a bioflick of sam shoulders who dedicated his entire life to helping out hundred and hundred of children some sudan. the story is so inspirational and it is so good but the movie doesn't live up to the greatness of the story. gerard butler, you know him from king leonides, i like him a lot but that scottish accent in certain scenes of the movie, because he is from pennsylvania, it comes through. that took me out of the m
