"You're just some guy who made me laugh at a party once."

WOW. That was my reaction to Revolutionary Road.

I knew I had to see Kate Winslet, obviously one of my favorite actresses, and Leonardo DiCaprio together again in theaters. Another movie I was willing to pay the ridiculous price for a movie ticket these days. I just couldn't miss this.

Now, I'm not one of those delusional Titanic fans hoping that this movie would be a delightful remake of a cheesy love story that's loosely based on a tragic truth. If you can't tell, I was never big on Titanic.

As I watched the previews of their new movie, I knew that this one would be different. This would be something I would actually enjoy.

Though sometimes previews can be misleading, I had a strong feeling Revolutionary Road would be feel real. And it did.

This movie is as raw as it is honest.

Revolutionary Road is a story of a young suburban couple in the 1950s finding out what their dreams are, and realizing those dreams could be very unattainable. The entire time, i sat in my chair mesmerized by these characters.

I would give more of a synopsis, but it's something you just have to see for yourself.

And I'll leave you with the official trailer:
