It's very cheesy. Good actor and actress but the story line is really bad.
average but some funny parts
A well written movie. Tom Hanks did a good job directing. I really enjoyed the movie. Had a good story and funny in parts. Worth watching.
thought the movie would be much better - dissappointed, Tom Hanks was really good, can't say Julia Roberts was good in this movie
This movie was good but not great Tom Hanks was great getting right into character julia Roberts was really good also and really funny.
Rather predictable boring and disappointing. Great actors wasted. If you must see it, see if you can do so free.
Thought it was going to be a chick-flick (or catered to an older audience), but I WAS SO WRONG! This movie was smarty, witty, and very enjoyable. This is a great movie that can be enjoyed by all!
movie good acting but a little too slow
Very much a movie of our times, especially for so many folks who have had a long career in the booming working world of the previous Century, and now, barely past 10 years into the 21st Century face the sudden permanent lay off where there will rarely be other opportunities at the same pay, and that the world has changed forever, not just for the one, but many other generations too. Although it uses comedy to tell the story, it is a story of reflection of one's life ahead where one must make do with less, along with youth who are seeking out their place in life in this newer more spartan world. No excesses, no pursuits of material things. It is a kind of a modern revival of a greener hippie
Well I agree it wasn't one of Tom and Julia's best, the movie it self was good. Don't go into this movie thinking your going to get action cause you'll be disappointed. Instead go for the story of a guy reaching a crossroads in his life. Anyone want to see a good story with some humour this is it.
