true grit (2010)

enjoyable, entertaining, but probably not memorable. coen brothers characters are often cartoony, and there were a few like that in TRUE GRIT, but the main character, the little girl, was far too serious and somber and KIA (Know It All) to be someone with whom we wanted to sympathize.

the point of the cartoon character comment, though, is jeff bridges as rooster cogburn. cranky drunk grampa...nailed. but it was always jeff bridges playing cogburn, in the back of this viewer's mind.
pretty scenery, interesting story, never boring. too little of matt damon, and way, way too little of josh brolin. a recommendation? sure, if paying matinee prices.
