Patrick: My wife's been wanting to see this movie for weeks. We rented the DVD and -- although it's a true, compelling story -- Angelina Jolie is too perfect looking and doesn't have enough of a range of facial expressions to do justice to the part of the mother of a missing boy. I felt strangely annoyed by her picturesque face, puffy lips, and perfect teeth. She was a distraction. Her kind of beauty may work on a model, but not for a movie part like this one.
They should have cast Amy Ryan (below) in that role, instead of in the small part she played. (Good news: she may be coming back to The Office!)
I did like John Malkovich as the Presbyterian pastor who campaigned against police corruption and helped get the mother out of a mental hospital. It was refreshing to see a minister portrayed as a hero.

Greg Daniels, the big boss behind The Office, just confirmed for me exclusively the best news ever: Amy Ryan will be reprising her spectacularly popular role as Holly Flax, soul mate to Steve Carrel's Michael.
"She will come back," says Daniels. "We haven't written it yet, but we're discussing her coming back for the season finale. We're hoping she'll be available."
Daniels went on to say that he's "very open" to working out a more permanent Office arrangement with Ryan. "Because [Michael and Holly] have such a deep connection, I don't think she can blow in and out every so often," he explains. "It would be too hard for him as a human being. So, we're hoping to find some very significant things for them. And if we can get her to sign on for a really long period, we'll do it."
