A Dream Caught on Film

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2006)

This is wonderful. You can't not like this movie. Well, you can, but you would have to have incredibly detailed and nit-picky reasons. I gave it an 8 out of 10 because I felt there were scenes that were forced. (I won't say since I don't want to include any spoilers. But I can say that I saw three scenes that seemed forced.)
Tom Hanks shows up in a non-major role and does a splendid job of staying out of the way. I was really into the movie until he showed up. He played it level and remained there. It was cool. So I was able to sit back and forget he was TOM HANKS! - American FILM LEGEND!... *sigh*. (He should have kept regular people in all of the roles... it would have swept me away ... I would have started playing my Beatles albums again... yeeesh, did I say "album"? WHAT's THAT??? hehehe :)
Anyway, I enjoyed it and it definitely should have won an acting award, or at least an Oscar nod... 9/10
PS: the end credits made me get over the 3rd of what I saw as a "forced scene" and should get kudos for doing a great job - no bitterness to the very end. All Wonderful for the WONDERS! :)
