an underappreicated film

O.k - I admit it: this film has been blasted by some of the best film critics. However, not only am I glad I didn't listen to them, I feel that its a great film with alot going for it. It has drama, comedy, suspence, even romance.

Not only does this film have everything, it also uses intelligent social commentary. The viewer gets the point without being beaten over the head with it.

Bottom line: If you watch films for mere entertainment value, you may not have the patience for this one. But if you like smart, understated films, rent/buy this one!!!

Better than expected.

I avoided this movie like the plague for two reasons. 1.) it's rep as a dog of a movie, and 2.) because I read the book -- which franklly didn't do that much for me. But despite the miscasting of Tom Hanks (who is my favorite actor), it definitely was better than I expected. I see now why Melanie Griffith got the best critics' reviews of anyone in the movie. I had to to see it to believe it, but her scenes were excellent. And as a Southerner I found she delivered a good approximation of a Southern accent. But I thought she and Hanks had absolutely no chemistry together. Probably due to his miscasting.
