I liked this film. I got choked up by this film. Was this a groundbreaking movie? No. Did it do what it set out to do? I would say so, and by that criteria it was a success. The special effects were in service to the story and did not get in the way. There was cuteness there, and there were moments that came into poke a hole in the cuteness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honestly, what the hell is the point in sniping at a Tom Hanks movie for being a Tom Hanks movie? I think does push the envelope sometimes, but it is the edges of his own envelope. So what? I liked News Of The World<\/em> and I liked this. I don\\’t think I\\’d put it up against something like the Turin House, <\/em>but why would you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like Jeff, I like Dewey, and I like Finch. I like the touchstones it has that call to mind Silent Running,<\/em> Short Circuit, Wall-E<\/em>. I won\\’t say they\\’re unavoidable when you are making this kind of film. You get out what you put in. Did it hit me just right? Maybe. It works. Is it a masterpiece? No. But it is charming. Every aspect of it is charming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
