Mostly OK, but not terribly entertaining.

Rating: 5/10 (8 July 2005)

I was looking forward to watching this movie, but I somehow found it to be a bit flat and boring. I thought Tom Hanks did a great job, as he always does, but I wasn't impressed with anyone else. The romance between Viktor and Amelia was not very well done, and I wish it had been worked into the storyline a bit better. The basic premise did have some merit, but after about the first half hour or so, it got a bit old and there was little added to the storyline to help move it along. If you're looking for a good romantic comedy, my advice is for you to look elsewhere - I can think of a good dozen or so that are better than this turned out to be. On the other hand, this isn't the worst movie of all time, either. I guess I just wasn't all that impressed with The Terminal.
