Seen it about half-a-dozen times over the years, and every time I see it my reaction is pretty much the same: meh.

I like it. Not as much as I like apples, but I like it all the same.

One thing I noticed in particular in my recent re-watch is just how hilarious Casey Affleck is in this.

It's a fine film for sure, even terrible Ben Affleck being terrible doesn't ruin it. Top stuff from Damon, but he's given a good half dozen or more better performances since. A day will come for me when I won't even count this among the Top 10 performances he's given, and it probably won't be too long from now.

I definitely dig it. its such a damn good crowd pleaser with some really good performances lead by Damon & Williams . The rest of the cast is good too.
8.5/10

Williams is really good and I like the therapy scenes. I don't like the rest of it, namely the scenes with Damon and the Afflecks hanging out and being bros and the Minnie Driver romance. That Elliott Smith song is good too, I guess. I think I gave it like a 6. Although when I saw it in college Robin Williams's story about asking his wife out made me ask out this hot girl (from eastern Europe, could have been a runway model) who I had a class with and basically do a mini-monologue about how much I liked her. She still said  , though.  But I guess that means it had an impact on my real life, unlike most movies. |

Apart from Robin Williams, not memorable. I didn't care for Matt Damon or his douchey friends, I didn't care for Minnie Driver, I didn't care for the mawkish plot. It feels like a vanity project.
Williams gave the best performance because he knew when to hold back, which felt so powerful and understated next to Damon's camera-hogging. Williams communicated so much sadness and pain with such subtle touches. Mesmerizing performance, one of my favorites of that whole year.

It's writing is fantastic with amazing dialogue and well fleshed out characters who you really care about.
