good light hearted fun

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2003)

Don't expect too much from this movie - it doesn't have loads to offer. However it is a perfectly enjoyable film, with great performances from the gorgeous Leonardo Dicaprio and Tom Hanks. It might be a little longer than it should be, but it doesn't drag. There are some brilliant supporting acts, particularly from Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen. I loved the opening credits and thought the musical score by John Williams was original and snappy. Watch this for some good light hearted fun, but not for special effects or fight scenes.
8/10
