I can't believe a lot of people didn't like this movie. It beats every other stranded on a desert island type of movie or TV show because you could imagine this is what it would really be like. I could feel how hopeless he felt at times and the courage it took him to get back up and try. When Wilson fell off the raft I wanted to jump in and save him. I don't people understood the ending which was the best part because it was actually realistic in that he didn't get his old life back. This is one of the few movies that actually made me cry. In the end he doesn't get back his wife and actually lost her to his best friend, Wilson's, main competitor Spalding which was very clever. The only thing that was a little bit too convient was how they were only serving seafood at his welcome home party.
