Grace is Gone: Another Professional Movie Review

Good movie. I kept thinking John Cusack looked a lot more like the late, great John Ritter with those glasses on than he did the handsome and likable Martin Blank in Grosse Point Blank. I found the movie a little weird when Cusack doesn't tell his daughters their mother died till the end of the movie, but it made up for that in emotions and story telling. I liked the rather subtle add-in that Cusack felt guilty he wasn't the one to be in Iraq due to poor eyesight. What really annoyed me, however, was the playing of sappy emotional music over conversations that are supposed to be emotional, as if the viewer wouldn't understand without the score.
