I absolutely love this movie, and have since I first saw it a decade ago. I have probably seen it 10 times or so, 2 times in the past week, because I have been feeling bad and it was there. I have tried to figure out why I love it so much - and really it's the whole package. I love it's humor, the acting, the dialogue, the unique attractiveness of the main characters. I really believe Tom Hanks can do just about anything. He was amazing in this role. The thing I love the most about this movie was his sincere love for his childhood friend. In fact, I think sincerity describes this movie totally. It's about truth, honesty and love. A sort of surreal/drama/comedy - it always uplifts me and makes me feel good. I recommend it for anyone with a heart, and that's just about everyone, isn't it?
