Frankly, I''m surprised Tom Hanks' career survived back-to-back dogs The Money Pit and Nothing in Common. If I had paid to see either one of them in a cinema I probably would never have coughed up again for one of his movies.
But two in a row this terrible? Hanks is very fortunate he wasn't working during the studio system or his contract would have been terminated for being ''box office poison."
This movie starts with Hanks in the Mile High Club. Then he waltzes back into the office after vacation spouting enough s2xist gibberish to launch a #MeToo movement. Then we get to the ''plot," which is Hanks' mom and dad (Jackie Gleason and Eva Marie Saint) breaking up. Oooooh. I'm hooked now. Gleason, as far as I can tell, is the inspirtation for the "Old Man" character on Pawn Stars. Saint is so deglamorized I wondered what the point of casting her was.
Terrible, terrible, unfunny movie. Not a single laugh. Well, OK, that' a lie. When Hanks really lets fly on that gimme putt. That was funny.
The only redeeming value is seeing a lot of good looking women traipsing around in that fabulous 80s hair. And remembering a time when women dressed up in public and at work.
