(6) The Terminal

Directed by Steven Spielberg
Rated PG-13
2004
128 minutes

*** 1/2

Tom Hanks shines in Spielberg's Capra-esque comedy as a man who, due to a military coup in his country, can neither go home nor enter the United States, and thus ends up living in an airport terminal for several months. Catherine Zeta-Jones as the "love interest" seems unnecessary, and the reason Viktor is coming to the United States never really packs the emotional wallop that it should, but otherwise this is a very pleasant way to spend two hours.
