it's not a good film...really...watch it again and it feels awfully dated, somewhat heavy-handed and just plain hokey, and yet i can't stop myself from watching and rewatching. tom hanks is brilliant as an overgrown 12-year old, and the plot captures so many wonderful examples of the innocence of childhood and the cyncism of adults. this film carries the weight of a helium balloon, but it does it with grace and ultimately leaves you inspired and smiling. |
