thoroughly enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (22 June 2004)

This movie was a little sappy at times but nevertheless thoroughly enjoyable. Tom Hanks once again carried the movie on his broad shoulders. Catherine Zeta-Jones was as beautiful as ever although her role felt a bit unnecessary in the end. The rest of the cast provided some good moments. And it was just another day at the (box-)office for Steven Spielberg.
One thing that I appreciate about this movie is that although it is classified as a comedy, it tries to be more than that. The seamlessness with which the humor and drama interplay throughout the film is what makes it somewhat unique.
4 out of 5.
