No Oscars for this one

Rating: 5/10 (12 January 2001)

I cannot understand why people are touting Hanks for an Oscar for this movie. Does not approach Forrest Gump or Philadelphia in any way shape form or fashion. Just a boring movie about a man on an island making conversation with a soccer ball. Tom was lost in this movie, only it was not on an island. Movie was too vague and left you hanging at the end. If you were not paying close attention at the start, you would not have even known that the name of the ranch had been changed by the time Hanks got there to deliver the package.
