In all honesty this was a good movie, not great by any means, but when compared to what is passing these days as comedies, this movie was heads and tails above them. Very off beat humor but I instantly connected with the characters, the setting, the pacing, the direction, and the production design. Everything clicked together in this movie to create a genuinely entertaining movie.
I am by no means a Tom Hanks fan but I would put this up there as one of his better movies and one that needs to be seen by Hanks fans. This is one of his best roles that connects with his quirky characteristics, creating a character that is just a little bit from walking over the edge but still seems to have his foot planted in reality. So unlike the many "normal" characters many comedians find themselves playing where their over-the-top personality is trying gel with the logistics of reality and they come off rather disjointed. This movie never feels that way even though the humor is slightly leaning towards the weird.
