Although I have seen that others have panned this movie, I enjoyed the light comedy and seeing Tom Hanks moving into a more serious role. The last third of the movie was very moving.

Yes, it's somewhat dated by its soundtrack and comic comedy antics. But that's part of it's charm for me. I loved the movie when it was new and it's a bit of a time capsule for me. The pace is a little slow and some of the scenes are more "t.v." than "movie", but over all it's a very touching movie with an ending that gets me every time. If you hate the 80's, stay away! But I love the 80's and am not offended by 1986-ish feel of this one.

The plot was poor, the humor silly and lame. Reminiscent of Tom Hank's early 'Bosom Buddies' work. Don't waste your time.

Don't waste your time renting this AWFUL movie. We tried watching for 45 minutes and finally gave up. A complete waste of acting talent. I can't believe Tom Hanks consented to do this boring movie.

What a piece of garbage--my wife and I were digusted with every aspect of this movie: the acting, the story line, and worst of all the sappy 80's sound-track. This is a stinker--avoid.
