Criticism

" Located between social tragi-comedy and romantic comedy, Tom Hanks plays under as director and star consistently the existential uncertainty of the protagonist, making the figure too implausible. "

"This is indeed a simple love story, but as Hanks at the beginning of the film captures the economic crisis in the U.S., is phenomenal and says to the topic than about, Company Men ', the fully devoted to the situation more. What follows is primarily a histrionic slugfest between Hanks and Julia Roberts, who after here, The Charlie Wilson's War ' are together again in front of the camera. As a romantic comedy, the film has the genre accompanied by not much new, but is at least pleasant to look at. "

" Unfortunately, the fine, high current basic idea of its recession romance of banality loses placed too shallow characters and humor are to smoothly follow -blow departure on realistic problems. The message of the American dream, of the energy and the luck of subsides for economic soap opera. "
