LOL! The Christmas movie season hasn't yet started. I'm sure this movie will do well.
I don't put Tom Hanks in the same category as Michael Moore and Sean Penn; he's always been supportive of the folks in uniform. I'm planning to see the movie, and in 3-D, no less!! I loved the book, though I have never been able to read it all the way through with my kids because I always get fahklempt at the last couple of pages.
nice to see you around!
This sounds like the first bad movie Hanks has done since, what, Joe and the Volcano, or whatever it was.
I think he's a very good actor and one of the few good guys in Hollywood. He may be a lib (few aren't), but he has great talent and charm.
SuziQ,
I saw "The Polar Express" a few weeks back during a special screening. My daughters (12 and 8) and I thought it was wonderful. Everything that was in the book is in the film, plus lots of other fun scenes (and a few gratuitous, stretch-it-to-feature-length scenes).
Hope you like it!

Geez, I hope it does not disappear soon, regardless of anyones polical persuasion. My soon to be 6 year old has planned her B-day at this movie. Not good...better inform my better half to make some backup plans.
