Great acting by Penn, Brolin, and Franco

This was a pretty good movie. It was touching at times and I liked the setup of Harvey dictated a memoir in case of his death.
Didn't much care for the love interest story (at least Rick, Scott was pretty good) but then again it was based on a true story so you can't really do much with that.
Haven't seen all the movies to make a completely informed judgment but I would think that Sean Penn deserves a nomination for best actor. Milk should be in the conversation for best picture but it wouldn't be outrageous if it got snubbed. I also think Josh Brolin should get some consideration for supporting actor. His part wasn't that big but I thought he played Dan White excellently.
This is definitely worth seeing.
