Tom Hanks is BRILLIANT and so endearing in this film...his performance here alone is worth watching this touching yet inventive film about a hapless man and his erstwhile dog...and the one woman who sees the gem inside the uncut rock that is Hanks' character.
And, by the way, if you're an animal lover, this is one of the great animal films too. (Once you've seen it, you'll find yourself telling a dog later on, with not some hilarity, "Hey - don't HOOCH on me!")
A feel-good movie that's also an action movie with a sense of humor, give this movie a try because it will entertain you and move your heart. And if you don't end up loving Mare Winningham at the end...(she's so lovable in this film - this is her best role ever)...
