This was a great movie. According to what I've heard George Clooney begged to star in this wonderful film but Payne wanted not to have any real Hollywood stars in the film. As much as I love to see Hollywood actors breaking convention (doing it well at least) I have to agree with Alexander Payne on this one, Clooney isn't the man for the job.

But on the other hand Paul Giamati, as much as i love him, as of recent he's becoming more and more of that wonderfully type-casted depressed guy who we can all feel bad for. I love his role in this movie and i love American Splendor but as far as Alexander Payne's vision of having no stars, i'm not sure how well that was done with Paul Giamati. I can't complain, Giamati did make the film in a way i'm not sure another actor could have.

Great film.
5/5
