Heartwarming Tale

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2004)

When renting the Terminal I was expecting a comedy, which it is not. It is a heartwarming comedic drama. First off Hanks has to be one of the most versatile actors in the business right now, he pulled off the role of Viktor perfectly. He brings such warmth to the character, he really makes him seem so real and lovable. The supporting cast deserves credit as well, all of these characters are so real and lovable. The humor is more subtle and will not entertain the younger crowd. But this is a film to watch with your family, its such a moving piece and very enjoyable. But what hurts the movie is that in some parts it slows down and chugs a bit, but you can forget about that. The other thing I loved about this was the writing, one of the better scripts that a movie had this year. The only people I see hating this movie are the cynics, and who really cares about them anyway?
For once I have a movie I can recommend to everyone, you will not be disappointed in this. A great movie to watch with your loved ones.
8/10
