Ratings and reviews

Not the best movie. There was some funny bit but no elaboration on the main story line. Felt a bit like the weather in the movie slow and rather long. Even Tom Hanks looked startled at the beginning of the movie. The taxi driver was funny, though

Worst Tom Hanks Movie. I like Tom Hanks and that's the only thing that makes it bearable to watch all of it. Only paid 99p to watch but even a penny would be a waste. It's a shite movie!

Never really got the storyline never took off not for the cinema dvd but then again i wouldnt buy the dvd. Tom Hanks as always an accomplished actor but wasted talent in this.
