Unplausible but good

Rating: 7/10 (2 October 2004)

Out of this unplausible story of a man forced to live in an airport for several weeks (or months?) because of a law gap, Spielberg makes a nice and humane movie with a few successful situation gags, a solidarity chain among simple people, a sentimental tale hidden in a peanut can and a few drops and romance between our man and an air hostess hit by existential troubles. Well you must also take for granted a few other unlikely things such as that despite the fact that when the main character came into the airport after landing, he practically didn't know a word of English, after a few days he talked passably well and that he managed to change the space of an airport door into a bedroom for him without nobody seeming to notice it for months. Anyway the most important feature of this movie is that simplicity, honesty and solidarity triumph over bureaucracy, inhumanity and injustice in the end.
