A conglomeration of film themes saved by Hanks & Gleason

Not the best film from either Hanks or Gleason, but definitely not the worst either. Suffers from an indecision over whether it needs to be a comedy a drama or a sappy love wins over all things movie. Still, the humor is timed perfectly by Hanks, and Gleason, well, how can anyone ever say his timing can be off. He is truly the great one. The script is rather pedestrian and predictable, but still fun to watch. Eva Marie Saint is very good as the pathetic woman only now coming out of her shell. Hector Elizondo is as fine as you'll ever see him. The ending will jerk a few tears, and rightfully so. Pathos and laughter are mixed into a script that unfortunately wants to do all things for all people. Without Hanks or Gleason, this would have been flushed before it hit the screen.

Understated AF

Ok sure... it's a character drama and rose can tend to be boring but Jackie Gleasons performance is beyond well executed and TOmmy Boy does a great job portraying the bratty offspring ..... a must watch for any 80s child.

A decent drama, but disorienting storylines

This movie, about a successful advertising executive who finds his freewheeling life crashing to a halt when his parents end their longtime marriage, is an okay drama movie.First of all, it had some good actors, but Tom Hanks' David Basner as the protagonist was a little annoying in the beginning because of his intense behavior, but that's not Hanks' fault. Despite a decent humor, the story and the comedy felt very split from each other. The humor lines felt very extra. I also think the story didn't fully deliver because of too many storylines or supporting characters; Max Basner, Lorraine Basner, Donna Mildred Martin and Cheryl Ann Wayne. I wasn't sure of what storyline or character I should follow. At first, the story was about David's romantic life, but suddenly it was about his family. I think my reason is that we didn't dive deep enough into neither of those storylines or characters. I think it would be better if we went deeper into only one of them to get the whole package as a movie, even though the story about David and Max did get better in the final scenes.In conclusion, despite having some good actors and moments of humor, the disorienting storylines and lack of depth in supporting characters hindered the overall impact of this drama. Focusing on one storyline would have helped create a more cohesive and fulfilling movie experience.
