movie was great.

there were a couple scenes i thought the dialog could have been better, but its still a really good movie.

the majority of the movie is hilarious.

Just saw this a couple hours ago. Now, I'm not a big Eastwood fan. In fact the last movie of his I liked was Space Cowboy. But I found Gran Torino to be an amazing piece of work. I was honestly horrified at the end, and cried my ass off.

Some of the dialog is a little, insensitive, but then again that's the point. It's like he's the Archie Bunker of the 21st century, but with guns and stuff.

Just seen this today, loved it (Y)

One minute I'm laughing my ass off, next minute completely silent.

Overall: not a great movie. Clint Eastwood was amazing, just as everyone says. But the rest of the acting was some of the worst I've ever seen in a movie. Story and screenplay were solid until 3/4 of the way through.

If you like the idea of a well-acted grumpy old man making racist jokes, you'll love Gran Torino.

I thought the movie was very good and extremely funny...especially with all the asian insults which I have never heard before!!
