Other than a rushed ending...

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Yes I am a huge Tom Hanks fan and am biased but I really was going to see this because I see all of Hanks' films on opening weekend. I thought the ending was super rushed but was really liking it until that point.

I agree. The third act wasn't great. I think they could have made a stoner ending in the same amount of time.

I liked it until it turned into a dippy Romance.
You are right, that the ending seemed rushed.

I swear I meant stronger, not stoner

Haha! I'm so glad you posted this. I honestly thought that 'a stoner ending' was movie jargon that I'd never encountered and was about to head for Google, to look it up!

I like a lot of films starring or co-starring Tom Hanks, but this one was quite disappointing. Not one of his best, for sure.

Regretfully, I have to agree.

Me too. This movie was weak, but i liked the concept of the movie though. With strong concept, this movie could have done a lot better. Top act from Tom Hank though.

The ending took me by surprise. Everything else in the movie moved at a relatively slow pace, and then it suddenly ended and then the credits were rolling. I was like, "huh? What just happened? That's it???"
