    Went and saw Gran Torino last night, and it was awesome. Basically, Clint sits on his porch, drinks beer,chews Redman, uses his guns, and is a badass. It gets serious halfway through it and overall turns out to be a sweet movie. I recommend it. Girlfriends and wives might not like it, mine didn't.

    Me and the girlfriend saw it the other day and LOVED it. Great movie. Clint Eastwood's movies are never a let down.

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    it made me wanna sit on my front porch, consume beer and tobacco, and be racist and hate everyone. but I think that would be kinda fun, in other words, it gets two thumbs up from me.

    Joedirt, just call up one of your friends and have a sweet man date. It's no homo, especially at a movie like Gran Torino

    Great movie... Eastwood shows his toughside once again.... Eastwood's choice of language (when refering to ethnic groups) cracked me up.
