Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011)

After about the first twenty minutes of the movie, I was almost to the point of turning it off. But Joe reminded me we've never been disappointed by anything with Tom Hanks involved. So I continued to watch. I'm glad I did. I don't know what kind of descriptions to give without having to first say "spoiler alert", but I highly recommend the movie.

It's not that I disliked the movie, but it was not one of my favorites, let's put it that way. And you're right -- to elaborate would give too much of it away. It was not one of my favorite Tom Hanks or Sandra Bullock movies, though.

Surely you haven't attempted Larry Crowne yet then. I only remember ceasing to watch a movie because it was so horrible once before. This one was the second time. Granted, my wife and I were really tired, but it was abysmal.

Growing up, I was a huge Tom Hanks fan. I collected his movies. Many of them are still favorites. But Larry Crowne was just...I dont even know. I'd post an actual review thread for it, but it doesn't deserve it.

Re Tom Hanks ... really liked Big ... was delighted to find one of those big floor keyboards awhile later that I had fun trying out! ;). Still would like one. :)
