Weird!

Rating: 3/10 (24 March 2007)

This is a weird story. Tom Hanks is a time neurotic guy who is very busy. Then he gets on a plane, and the plane crashes. Okay, fine! Then what? Unfortunately the island he finds himself stranded on is unpopulated. So far, so good. Now the story turns into a classic man versus nature- story. That's fine and dandy, because this theme is very relevant since Mr. Hanks is portrayed as this time neurotic guy, who always seems to be hung up on what time it is and how much he has to do before this and that, and now he has to go back to basics and live off the land... ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......... Now the weird part starts. He turns into a madman!!! He becomes indeed VERY friendly with a volleyball. A BALL! This is not natural!(Unless somebody has paid good money to promote Wilson- volleyballs.) He is more attached to that one ball than to his own very naturally attached balls, and that's just weird! I don't care that he is lonely and has been so for 4 years. You just don't make friends with a ball, and you certainly don't name it! I only want to give it 3 out of 10 because my mates and I once had a laugh about that best- friends- with- a- volleyball- part. Other than that it was just plain boring. If you like Hanks, watch something else. I recommend "Turner & Hooch".
