Sad...

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2006)

I was disappointed.
I think Tom Hanks is a wonderful actor. His performances have always been so convincing. This movie is no exception. Catherine Zeta-Jones is my favorite actress ever. She tops even Audrey Hepburn. She is amazing in this movie as well.
The real fault in this movie is the poor ending. First off, why would Amelia (Zeta-Jones) convince Frank (Tucci) that despite the fact that she can get any man to fall in love with her, she would pick a practically illiterate man, Viktor (Hanks) to be with, only to leave him for another guy? Secondly, how could the scriptwriters not have Viktor and Amelia end up together?! The whole story seemed to build up to their becoming a couple, only to leave you with a broken-hearted Viktor, and a seemingly happy Amelia (Although, I think she'd rather be with Viktor than her married boyfriend)as the parting.
It was a great movie up until the last few minutes. If you haven't seen it, watch it up until Viktor and Amelia kiss by the fountain and then TURN IT OFF! Otherwise, you'll be disappointed.
