Barney's Version

On Tuesday, February 8, 2011, I went to see the movie Barney's Version. This movie features Paul Giamatti, Dustin Hoffman, Rosalind Pike as well as many Canadian stars (such as Paul Gross).

This movie is about Barney Panofsky and his life. We follow him through his experiences, both good and bad regarding his life, his multiple marriages, and his costly mistakes... As he nears the age of 65, a series of events, which I will not name, lets him realize what he has done, or not done, and puts his life into focus...

A film that deals with many issues, it is a drama with many very clever lines. I enjoyed the funny aspects of the film. I believe that this film had the perfect mixture of times where it made you laugh, but also made you think and perhaps shed a tear. Paul Giamatti gave a great performance. A must see in the theatre, if you are into dramas.
