I should say something about the movie i suppose  ;D

I am really impressed with Matt Damon for doing this. A lot of hard work. Not only did he have to get really fit (and you could see he bulked up a bit) but he had to get a feel for Afrikaans AND rugby! Morgan Freeman was great too. You don't need to be a rugby fan to enjoy this. I'm not. I had no idea who won the 1995 world cup so it was all new to me. There isn't in fact a lot of rugby playing going on (compared to how much country music there was in Crazy Heart, a movie about a country singer, for example). Don't worry about the rugby thing if you aren't into it. I know nothing about Grid Iron, but i can still enjoy 'The longest yard'.

Clint Eastwood sure is the drama maestro lately. A good 'feel good' flick (",)
