Chord, judging by the pre-hype about the movie , it is bound to do pretty decent, unless its a complele foul up.. Women dig into most romantic comedies/ Vince vaughan types. that was a +ve start for ARR even before he came into the picture.. Now, with the beautiful music - and different American music standards - I have no doubt ARR will get tremendously +ve applauses after the movie also comes out.. But shooting for Oscar ---thats a different story altogether.. Maybe ARR is bound for even greater destiny :)) On Sat, Sep 26, 2009 at 9:14 AM, ichord <purev...@yahoo.com> wrote:
