Pretty nice, well-meaning movie

Rating: 7/10 (22 October 2011)

Steven Spielberg comes off a bunch of science-fiction yarns to this romantic comedy. Acceptance is the key to this light-hearted, simple-minded film. There are countless flaws in the storytelling like what is Hanks' country, which is never mentioned. The movie itself is like a puff of cool air on a hot summer day, nice but forgettable. Yet Spielberg seems to understand that this is just fluff entertainment and unlike countless movies like this it does not take itself too seriously. That ease in storytelling and makes this piece of fluffy romantic comedy an enjoyable affair that you cannot help but get swept up in.
