Dustin Hoffman makes a literal splash!

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2011)

I suspect that I am the only person who doesn't see this movie as a comedy at all, and that may be why it is the only Will Farrell movie I have actually enjoyed. I give the film an unskimping 10 out of 10 for being a brilliantly performed and captured tragedy that ends with hope.
Not only does the script and direction really allow Will Farrell to live up to Tom Hanks' praise, but it is perhaps the one motion picture where Dustin Hoffman makes a literal splash on camera!
Tenderness, kindness, desire to be good, and heroism made this viewing a one of a kind achievement that I am so glad I did not pass up.
Perhaps, this explains my choice of flicks within any genre.
