I watched this film again over the weekend as I stumbled upon it while channel surfing. I immediatly regained the joy I recieved the first time I watched it over ten years ago. Tom Hanks plays the part of a 13 year old boy as if there really is a kid trapped inside him and the film is constantly highlighted by scenes that allow Hanks to shine. I could not help but laugh out loud during the famous FAO Schwartz piano scene where Josh (Hanks) plays Chopsticks with his boss on the giant keyboard. Another scene that made me chuckle was the business formal where Josh chews on baby corn like it is a full husk and he nibbles off the mini kernels. I really enjoyed this film and it reminded me why I've always liked Tom Hanks so much. He is one of the most versitale and talented actors of our generation and I always look forward to seeing his next film.
