David (Tom Hanks) has everything he could ever want in life! Fame, fortune, success, you name it. His life takes a chaotic turn when he finds out his parents have split up. I'm a big fan of Tom Hanks. The man can usually do no wrong, but this movie was a bit of a misfire. It tries to balance serious situations with awkward comedy, but it doesn't mesh together very well. The performances aren't the problem. Tom Hanks is absolutely great as he usually is, I didn't find his character very sympathetic though. Jackie Gleason & Eva Marie Saint are solid as the parents, but not easy to like either. Another problem I had with this movie is the poor pacing issues. This movie runs longer than it should for such a dull affair.
I didn't hate this movie, but it was a rather mundane experience. Hanks fans might wanna give it a look, but I can't say there is much to look forward to.
5/10
