Tom Hanks - The formative years.
by Bing-181999-05-28
7/10

"This is a great example of what Tom Hanks was doing in his former career of a comedic actor, before he returned to serious acting. The story follows three incredibly nosey suburbanites, spying on their new neighbours the Klopek's as they expect them to be murderers. Winning performances all round, but especially from Hanks. He is well supported by the likes of Carrie Fisher, as his wife, and ex-army man Bruce Dern, with Henry Gibson giving his usual solid performance. A greatly funny movie which leaves you wondering why Hanks ever turned his back on comedy...."
