A unique plot. A bit of dark humor, and characters you just gotta root for. This romantic comedy stands out as an underrated gem
Existential allegory not appreciated at the time. Stick man protagonist Tom Hanks was crucial to letting the viewer inhabit not just observe
'Quiet lives of desperation...' Thoreau. for Joe it couldn't be truer. A message movie about finding purpose.
Downright ridiculous romcom feat: my boi tom hanks
Same premise as The Last Holiday with some delightfully absurd additions. Tom Hanks’ and Meg Ryan’s first cinematic outing. Silly, but fun.
The imagination behind this is immense and the filmmaking is breathtaking. It’s all in service of the most basic storyline that goes nowhere
A cute, stylized reminder to live your life. Some fun, quirky and ambitious design elements. Hanks and Ryan play well together.
Totally unpredictable, hilarious and insightful. Must watch!
Absurdist comedy about a man who’s told he has 6 months to live & learns to embrace life, very funny at times w/ beautiful imagery at others
This is a great and underappreciated rom-com. Really cute and an enjoyable little movie.
