    A polarizing film indeed
    People love it or hate it, it seems.

    Probably not among Hanks' classics, but I was downsized at the age of 51 a week before this movie came out.

    Needless to say, it was an emotional experience.

    A year and change later, I have the best job I've ever had. I watched it again, and the experience was still emotional, but this time it was triumph screaming in my soul instead of poignancy and worry.

    Sue me, I loved it.

    (addendum) God, is my review really too short to be submitted? Is brevity something to be penalized? I know a lot of people, and believe me, most of them err on the side of yakking too much. And here you are telling me my review must be lengthened. Geez. :-/
