Who else wants to see this movie only for Alfred Molina?

I must confess, I couldn't care less about Richard Gere, but I am a huge fan of Alfred Molina's, and I dearly wish he'd be in more movies. As such, when I heard about this movie through looking him up, I got intrigued. I'm sure there are more such people out there, so confess: who else only heard about this movie and got interested in it just because of Alfred Molina's involvement?

Wow you guys are lame. I mean, apart from the evident laziness from failing to look him up on imdb, (just because it's the easiest thing in the world...) ever heard of a movie called Spider-Man 2? Yeah, that was him - the dude with the metal arms. He's pretty awesome, so... yeah, enough of this "who is Alfred Molina" business. Now you know.

Alfred Molina is an acting god and a prince among men.

Wasn't he in that movie The Hoax with Gere... The gerbil lover! hahahahahah
but seriously... just to reiterate what has already been said... He's DOC OC!!!! Also a lesser known role but just as awesome was his role as the therapist in "Identity"

The leading man in "Frida." He was great playing opposite Salma Hyack.

Alfred Molina is the only reason I go to movies anymore. So yes, he's the only reason I will see the film.

Almost the same for me, except I see movies for

1. Alfred
2. Alan Rickman
3. Sean Astin

I saw this film last night, and Alfred Molina is really good in it. I can't say that I knew a lot about him before this movie, but he's a large part of the success of this movie.

ME!!!! I love Alfred Molina!!!!

I am only seeing this for Alfred, really. I'm figuring the movie itself might fall flat, but Alfred always dishes out a redeeming performance, even if his character is woefully underwritten or he's handed a lousy script.
I can't wait for Silk to come out, either. Unlike this movie (which looks alright) it looks fantastic, if you're into that sort of artistic genre.

On a totally unrelated matter, nice quote in your signature. :D

Molina is The Man. Check the man out in Boogie Nights, best scene in the whole flick. He's great in Magnolia as well..

He was good in me! LOL! I'M JUST KIDDING!
I love the Boogie Nights scene. The mix tape lines slay me everytime, and his Jesse's Girl performance!

I never see any movie for solely one actor. My intrest may be peaked because of one or more but I wouldn't see a movie just to see so-and-so. Molina is a great actor I will admit. I also like Gere and many many more.
