Tom Hanks fans: A worthwhile-watching-film!

Rating: Null/10 (12 September 2004)

The terminal is a successfully funny and entertaining film. After reading a negative review on it, I was not expecting much from it. The plot has already been described, so I will refrain on it's elaboration. As far as the story goes, it is exaggerated, and in my eyes, a bit unrealistic, but boy did I laugh. Tom Hanks plays this eastern European so effectively, that I really started feeling sorry for him! On the contrary to other remarks, I feel the Indian fellow added immensely to the film's humor; I guess you have to have lived in New York to understand the behavior of a lot of the "ethnic" characters portrayed in this film. If you are someone that does not analyze a film to death, then please go see this movie. If you want to see a film that is uncomplicated and entertaining, please go see this movie. Even if exaggerated, this film hits upon a lot of realities of life.
