Dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (10 November 2000)

I have to whole-heartedly agree with people who complained about the hype. I guess this movie was made to pander to the baby-boomers. Why people insist that Tom Hanks is a great actor is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, I thought he was brilliant on "Bosom Buddies," I just wish he would return to the small screen. I remember Bill Maher on "Politically Incorrect" remarking on Mr. Hanks winning the Best Actor award for this movie. He basically asked how hard was it to portray an idiot? I suppose Tom Servo's diatribe on MST3k accurately summarizes my opinion of this flick. Something like, "Oh, so life is like a box of chocolates? Oh yeah? Well, I say life is like a c*** sandwich; the more bread you have, the less c*** you have to take!" If only there was more bread in this movie!
