It's a great movie. Critics suck big time, they need to get laid, that's all. Garrett Hedlund is a BABE.

More curious than excited about the movie, have to say. Of interest: John Tytell has written a good history on Kerouac and the making of the Beat Generation, which is now an e-single. A great read, for those interested: http://goo.gl/HS2f1

I'd rather eat excrement than see this movie

I've seen the film and nothing that I've read so far does justice to this devastatingly beautiful film. Actually I've read so many ridiculous reviews about it that they wind up being almost embarrassing to read. They're even accusing the actors of being too beautiful, ('pretty faces' – have you heard that expression before?) ignoring completely that Neal, Jack, Luanne and Carolyn were all stunningly beautiful people, especially at the time the film takes place. All of them were just 20 year old kids who looked like gorgeous movie-stars, not bitter middle age subliterates like the 'critics' who just can't see beyond their cheap prejudices and clichÃ©s. The actors are all exceptional, especially Garrett Hedlund, with his spectacular performance as Dean Moriarty. It's really sad to see how critics are completely lost here and not even knowing how ridiculous they sound. Shame. Thank god I didn't listen to them and went to the theaters to see it by myself. This is a film in which you have to throw yourself into it. If you're stting there feeling you're better than Kerouac and OTR (because, you know, critics obey Capote, they are as good as him probably as writers) you will miss the whole point of it. You'll be missing its devastatingly beautiful and incredibly emotional end. You'll miss the intense eroticism, the crazy orgies and, afterwards, the innoncence ending for them all in the most painful way. I won't forget its poetry as long as I live. 'A Beatnik debauchery' as they often call this film trying to criticise it, is what On The Road is about indeed so that's not even a criticism, it's pure envy. The Guardian often do that. But that's just for those who had the courage to live it, not for those who sit comfortably behind their computers doing nothing but criticise those who they secretly envy. If you're not too uptight or sexually repressed to be jealous of those brave, handsome and daring guys, you'll be loving this raw, risky and marvellous film. Otherwise, go see The King's Speech. It's more the type of middle-aged movie you'll be comfortable with.
