No movie is perfect so I thought it would be fun to hear what everybody disliked about the film.

Chris' breakdown. Of course I like the scene, but I feel like he gave in to that overwhelming need to cry too easily.I realise that this is why the scene appeals to so many - I realize I'm being VERY picky about this.

I didn't really like how Gordie was as an adult. He's too.. I dunno.. different. I'm not sure exactly what it is, almost everything. He was too normal and smiley, taking kids to swimming and being all suburban. I don't know I just didn't like it. It just didn't seem to fit to me. The rest was so great but just adult Gordie threw me off

But I don't believe the Richard Dreyfuss' character was supposed to be Gordie as an adult He was a writer who got the idea for the story from the article in the paper about Chris Chambers getting killed. but presumably he didn't know Chris Chambers, it was just the inspiration for the story he told in the movie.. and Richard Drefuss is credited as "The Writer", and not as Gordie as an adult.

He is credited as "The Writer" as that underscores how Gordie has indeed become what Chris told him he would become. Like The Writer, I laugh at that little exchange between his son and his friend ("Your dad's weird." "Yeah, he gets like that when he's writing."). Where has The Writer heard that before?
I love this movie. Even when it's shown on TV where it's interrupted by commercials every five minutes (not to mention those annoying on-screen promotional announcements), and those needless attempts to keep the language clean, I still find myself watching it, even though I already have it on DVD. -

I adore this film to no end. There is only one thing I don't like about it: Gordo's Lardass story. I've watched this film more times than I can count but I never understood the point of it.
