Interminably long, highly uneven comedy-drama about a perpetual adolescent
who's forced to deal with his aging, unloving father when his mom leaves him flat.
Some poignant, relevant conclusions about love and responsibility (and some
funny shots at the advertising business) are undermined by overlength and
meandering nature of film. Hanks is excellent; Gleason is abrasive (in his last film
appearance). Later a TV series. Super 35.
