Viewing Notes
Went with a friend from work to see this, one of a handful of Tom Hanks movies playing for Hanksgiving.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this. It was funnier than I was expecting. I forgot Meg Ryan plays multiple characters.

oh wow would never imagine this getting a rep screening but I’d def go see it. I’ve only seen bits of it from when it was a regular on HBO back around it’s release.

It really felt like I’d been transported back to college days, watching this in a theater!
