I found that this movie was nominated to Oscars and obviously I had great expectations. But it turned out to be a pretty Okay movie nothing so overwhelming about it. The story starts with a boy having his little crush on his teacher later he finds that she is about to marry another man. So the kid provokes him for one on one battle with the gun. Naturally the man took it lightly but it takes violent turn as the boy brings up his father's gun. The man is too much scared and he confesses his love for the teacher was just a made up obligations but it turns out to be a fake gun and the teacher leaves her fiancée This movie portrays childhood innocence and their insistence but it fairly has some plot holes. How can a second grader think like the boy did? is the question that pops on my head every time I think about this movie. But it's a well directed movie and an entertaining one .
