Review of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011) by Erik V — 09 Aug 2012

The subject matter,the stars,and the story,are all ingredients in this mediocre plea for an Oscar of a film.The film makes the audience feel that Hanks was only a part of the film to make a cameo.The overall feeling,for lack of better word,is corny.

False advertising at its finest.Despite all that, the performances,intelligence,and cleverness of the films strong scenes are enough for it to be better than average.
