This movie had a few weird elements for me. I’m not sure I bought into Tom Hank’s quick study of english through TV news tickers. CZJ was an unsympathetic and in some respects uninteresting character for me. There were good laughs, but something seemed hollow. I will probably need to see this again on DVD to make a final judgement.

I’m right there with ya, sir. Sandy and I saw this last night. CZJ was, in fact, unsympathetic. Couldn’t feel sorry for her at all. Overall it was pleasant with good laughs as you say, but some of the stuff intended to be most highly feel-good was kinda corny and simplistic. I liked the parts where Tom’s ingenuity came through best, and found Stanley Tucci’s character a somewhat amateurish cartoon cutout of the stereotypical Bad Guy (that didn’t have to be). Ho hum.
