Great fun and with a good message

Rating: Null/10 (14 September 2004)

I loved this movie sooo much when we went to see it in the theaters! Most of the movies out were funny, but full of bad words and crude humor. Now I just love "gross movies" (think Austin Powers) but The Terminal was a very refreshing change. Tom Hanks always seems to pick the best roles and he makes every movie such a pleasure to watch, but this character was probably the most lovable of them all. The humor is innocent and simple, but it made the whole crowd laugh uncontrollably throughout the whole movie. Catherine Zeta-Jones doesn't make as many appearances as we would have liked but in the small parts that she has, she manages to completely nail her character. I think that the chemistry that all the characters have together, added to the general concept of this movie, makes it so enjoyable to watch and gives it a great message. It's a movie that you can go to just to relax in and enjoy yourself, and is a movie that no one should go without seeing again and again.
