    Justin Timberlake is a SUPERSTAR!
    JT is an incredible musician, humanitarian, and an incredible actor! He has been overlooked by the Academy for far too long. This quiet, understated performance may by his very finest role yet. The whole cast was so great that it was easy to forget that you were watching a movie. Everyone seemed like people I've known. The scrip was pitch perfect! Check this one out!
