Mm, this is set post 911, right? Just too much fantasy and absurd...
I'm sorry, but even as a comedy this is too absurd to enjoy.
I mean, the airport security is depicted as serious (the drama part of the story), yet they bend the rules so far beyond any plausibility it becomes tiresome.
Either the airport security is also for laughs or not. If it is, then his whole drama of beings tuck is moot. If it's serious, then all the absurdities render any drama meaningless.
I felt Hanks wasted, plain and simple (great comic actor).
Catch Me if you Can is also a comedy-drama set in airports, however that movie KNOWS when/what to play for laughs and when/what to play straight/seriously in order to make the drama part work.
This one, it doesn't.
