This movie should be cast away...

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2003)

First of all, let me say that I generally enjoy Tom Hanks films. (Well, not "The Burbs" or "Joe Versus The Volcano ... and, oh, yeah, "Dragnet" and "Volunteers" ... but I digress.) However, as to this flick, let me just quote the Tom Hanks character from "Big": "I don't get it."
*****************************ATTENTION!!!******************************
***************************SPOILER COMING UP***************************
OK, so Chuck Noland's stranded on the island for several years. He builds the raft and finally escapes. By sheer luck he's picked up by a cargo ship. In the next scene fiancee Kelly gets a call informing her Chuck's still alive, and she faints. Flash to the next scene "Four Weeks Later." Chuck's sitting on the FedEx plane headed back to Memphis. Yet, as far as we know, he hasn't already spoken to Kelly. He also hasn't spoken to his pal Stan. For all we know, Chuck hasn't spoken to anybody since he was rescued. Don't they have ship-to-shore telephones on cargo ships? Or was Chuck confined to a hyperbaric chamber for four weeks? This movie made absolutely no sense.

If you want to rent a good Tom Hanks film, I'd choose "Mr. Mom." Wait, that was Michael Keaton...
