No I wouldn't class it as good in that sense. There are plenty of movies I'd recommend above this one if 'nookie' is what you are looking for!Quote:

Elizabeth Banks (I am a huge fan) holds her own with the real pornstars and Seth Rogen is funny again despite always playing the same person.
Check it out when it comes out on DVD.

Gran Torino. I said it on another thread and I will say it again. It is one of Clint Eastwood's best pictures. Walt Kowalkski is a new widower who doesn't get his kids, the younger generation or the urban decay around him and he certaintly doesn't want anything to do with the "slopes" (as he calls them) next door in his neighbourhood of Highland Park Michigan (part of Detroit). He has his flag out front, his neat yard and neat house and his life in order. He is a tough, bigoted (of sorts) gun toting cranky old man who is lost after a life time of working thinking that was the American way. His family doesn't understand him and maybe that is just as well as they come off shallow and pre occupied with the less important task of that next Big screen and getting goodies for the kids.
It all goes sideways though when Walt starts helping people. The neighbours turn out to be more complicated and not what he thought. The son is a lost kid trying to avoid the gang of Hmong (hill people from Vietnam) "homeboys" that cruise the streets with an UZI or two in their laps as they drive around in their Honda. Walt is drawn in also by the wise@ss daughter who cuts through Walt's hard shell and draws him in. Before you know it, Walt is a neighbourhood watch crusader of sorts. It isn't what you think and you just have to watch. I wont say much more than that.
It shows I guess a lot of things but what hit me was the role model relationship that the character Walt Kowalski has with the Hmongs next door and how he try's to make them more "American" while learning they are what America is supposed to be.
Best movie I have seen in the last year, and yes, that includes Quantum of Solace. (good but not great. The fast cut editing pioneered in the Bourne Movies is getting old fast).
