Wow, I really fell in love with this movie. I was trying to think of adjectives to describe this film and too many popped up: strange, trippy, wonderful, bizzare, funny, heart warming, sad. What an emotional roller coaster ride. This is one of those small independent films that come along that you must see.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, with its quirky poster and title, it seemed to be rather intriguing so I was quite eager to check it out.

Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Everything is Illuminated" tells the story of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion. What starts out as a journey to piece together one family's story under absurd circumstances turns into a meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations -- the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, and the meaning of friendship.
Release date: 4 November 2005

As it rolled along, however, some of it was more familiar but I'd be lying if I said much of it had stuck with me. It's a good movie, just nothing exceptional really. I like the characters (especially the dog) and story well enough, and the soundtrack is pretty good. I won't be too surprised if I lose track of it again i"

"I remember liking the first half, being drawn in by comedy but the last half is more serious and a downer."
