The curse of the 107 minute movie.
STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs

Maybe it's just me,in fact I'm certain it is,but it always seems to me like movies that have a running time of 107 minutes seem to go on forever.I cannot really name a single instance when this has'nt been so.It's like there's this curse meaning movies of this length are going to feel like 1007 minutes,in fact,it's got to the stage where I always brace myself,for whenever I watch a movie of this length,man,I brace myself for one long movie.

Take Nora Ephron's cast for cast follow up to Sleepless In Seattle.It starts off like a promising,engaging yarn.Then it begins to dramatically lack flair and not be very funny.But still,it engages.Then,finally,the ending just slumbers on.

Now,don't get me wrong.I enjoy romantic comedies.I liked Notting Hill and Sleepless In Seattle very much,in fact I now own a copy of each.This particular romantic outing,however,was not one of my favourites.And I like Tom Hanks the actor very much.There are some instances,e.g. Saving Private Ryan,when I think he's the next Dustin Hoffman.But I did'nt find the charecter he portrayed here to be very convincing or strongly written at all.What a waste of a talented actor.Obviously a big pay cheque did the deed.

This,of course,is the latest in a long line to add to the growing list of Warner Brothers 75th anniversary stinkers.Well done guys,keep this up,you'll be having a millenium dumpsite party.**and a half.
