how time flies!

Rating: 4/10 (1 September 2002)

Basic, boy loves girl, boy goes to work and doesn't return for some time story. Tom Hanks plays it as only he can, but believing in what he does is difficult. To the viewer, not having an update as to the time he has been on the island ( just a note along the bottom of the screen) one is left wondering how he is managing but as he doesn't seem to lose any weight you feel he's only been there a matter of a few weeks. Plus as he like things to be precise and seems to be a person who investigates and references things he is remarkably stupid on some basic survival techniques. Overly long and the end leaves you wondering, "what now?"
