It’s a film about loss, not coping with change but having people melt your stony heart. One of those rare films where every character is perfectly cast, and you care about them. Tom Hanks & his son cast as his younger self were amazing. This film made me laugh & there was a moment during a flash back sequence where I cried. None of the flash back scenes dragged on. Just perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I loved the original but this one took too long to get going. The last half hour was the best. The script wasn’t as good as the original. It tried too hard to be funny, without being funny. It made me realise how important the characters Geena Davies & Alec Baldwin were to the original film and the energy the young Michael Keaton brought to the role. However, he still did the role justice. If you’re going to make a sequel, don’t wait 3 decades!
