Huh?

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2000)

I was bored on Christmas Day, so I went down the street to see this film. I had seen an interview between Hanks and Charlie Rose the day before, so my interest was up. While I can appreciate Hanks' talent as an actor, this film left a lot to be desired. First of all, the trailer gives way too much of the plot away, including the fact that Chuck is rescued, and he ends seeing Kelly again (the trailer has enough sense not to give away what Kelly did for the time he was gone). I got that Chuck, being a control freak about time, has to reevaluate when he realizes what little control he has over anything. I even picked up on the use of the Elvis Presley songs in the movie. What was the ultimate lesson he was supposed to get overall? The film is very unclear about that, leaving the audience with an ambiguous ending.
