I haven't seen that movie in ages, but I can still remember the scene when the bathtub falls through the floor, and Hanks stares down at Long through the floor and does that silly guffaw. :eek:

Money Pit was fun.

Johnny Dangerously was awesome.

I also liked Stay Tuned with John Ritter and Pam Dawber.

Your watching the wrong old TH movie, watch "Joe vs the volcano" for an off-beat funny film.

The Money Pit. Him and Shelly Long. Don't watch it. You're welcome.


Every Tom Hanks movie was a dud... (not including his voiceover appearances in Pixar, im talking ON SCREEN acting) he always gets cast in movies with a terrible story.


Although I have not yet seen Captain Phillips, there has been exactly 2 Tom Hanks movies to date that I have watched without disgust.

(anyone who mentions Big or Forest Gump gets punched in the nuts.)


I enjoyed A league of their Own and Apollo 13.

Never cared for old Tom.
Some of the films he was in would have been so much better if not for Tom.
His films have to be outstanding on their own merit for his acting to neither make or break the film.
He does have the option to pick from the best.
Most actors do not have that privilege.
He was tolerable in Road to Perdition and cast away.
But that's about it.
I guess he was ok in saving mr banks, but that role was right up his alley.
Walt Disney, a pleasant no issue no baggage businessman.

I was going to re-watch "catch me if you can" a while back but remember Tom Hanks was in it and kinda spoiled it for me.
But then, Tom probably wouldn't care for me either.
