Review of Nothing in Common (1986) by Morten Ø — 17 Oct 2010
As much as I dislike Tom Hanks today, just as much do I like him in his movies of the 1980's. With "Bachelor Party" probably being in the top 10 of the funniest movies ever and "Big" a huge landmark aswell, I watched "Nothing in Common" as it was being shown on the movie-channel.
To begin with I thought I was about to witness a romantic-comedy, but luckily it wasn't as romantic as I had "hoped". To begin with it deals more with Tom Hanks' father's - played by Jackie Gleason - break up with his wife than it actually deals with Tom Hanks several female encounters. Secondly it focuses on Tom Hank's work life and how affects his incressing relationship with his parents. It is probably very classic in it's narrative structure, but it still has some great supporting characters and a very good ending.
