A really good famly movie

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2006)

Very neat pseudo tear jerker playing on all the moving human emotion yet not losing the essential light magic touch of comedy.
The movie was well put together, at least from my perspective, and is a clear indication of what a great Mr Spielberg can do when directing humans and not machines(War of the Worlds).
Furthermore, it just goes to show class will always win through, no sex, no violence, no swearing, and no eardrum shattering horrible music that ruins so many films these days.
In many ways reminiscent of the classic lightweights of the 1940s. I liked it and would recommend it as good family viewing.
Tom Hanks is always a winner for me and he really settle into this part admirably, his accent, which is a difficult one to imitate was brilliant and Catherine Zeta Jones is just so darned beautiful! Put this with her great acting skills, and although we did not see enough of them together, you could feel the electricity all the way from Heathrow to JFK A really nice memorable film
