- Based on a true story, an entertaining comedy about as teenager trying on different identities to see which one fits; at half-an-hour shorter, it would have been a better movie, but it will still leave you smiling.

  Good but over rated.
  
  Enjoyable but I was left thinking why it had such great reviews when it came out. It is worth a watch though.

  Disappointing film that had promised much
  
  I was looking forward to the pairing of Hanks and De Caprio.
  
  But, although they are good and the film has a certain sense of fun and originality, it ... read more »

  This film deserves four stars...
  
  ...just for the opening credits. Genius.
  
  The rest of the film is not bad either.
