Ive always been a huge Tom Hanks fan yet for some reason the trailers didn't really grab me. My wife read the book and dragged me with to see the movie. Walking out, I thanked her for shlepping me along. This is yet another Tom Hanks at his very finest as he has been nominated in most of the major film awards so far for his portrayal.Rated at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes although critic awards have been a bit less flattering
Very enjoyable for a matinee running at 2 hours and 7 minutes and classified as a comedic drama
One most noted thing was Tom Hanks seems to have shed a lot of weight . I haven't seen him this thin since his role in Philadelphia
