hi all, i thought the movie was fabulous -- but that could be because matt damon went to high school with my kids, acted in a couple of plays with my youngest daughter, and so i'm biased. she liked it too! seriously though, i thought the film was quite well done, and look for more good work in the future. i'm surprised to hear that some on the list did not like it. but that's what makes a horse race. ellen balber managing editor bananafish
