Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Tom Hanks wanted to prove his dramatic talent in the mid-1980s, and Nothing in Common gave him a ripe opportunity. Playing an emotionally immature Chicago advertising executive, Hanks offers a prototype of his later, better role in Big--the joking man-child with seemingly limitless reserves of energetic humor, perfectly suited to director Garry Marshall's trademark blend of featherweight comedy and sentiment. The movie wanders aimlessly before settling into its dramatic groove, involving Hanks caring for his aging, diabetic father (Jackie Gleason, well cast in his final screen role) after his mother (Eva Marie Saint) files for divorce and strikes out on her own. Like Marshall's Pretty Woman, the movie hits several grace notes and finds unexpected depth in its characters and their need for loving connections. Meanwhile, there's cheesy nostalgia in the '80s trappings, including songs by Carly Simon and Christopher Cross, and Once and Again TV star Sela Ward in an early supporting role. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nothing in Common
If you like Tom Hanks and Jackie Gleason, you'll love this DVD version of this movie. I saw it on the Pay per View channel and decided to get the DVD. Glad that I did.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nothing In Common
Tom Hanks in one of his best roles before superstardom.Jackie Gleason's final appearance on film.Eva Marie Saint,Sela Ward,Hector Elizondo supporting actors-wonderful!Emotional pitstop, what a great new phrase.If you have not seen this movie buy it, rent it, wait for it to come on cable,whatever but sit still for an hour and ahalf and enjoy this film.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not as funny as promoted, but an effective comedy-drama.
With my family on a The Honeymooners kick (including the The Lost Episodes) from Gleason's earlier variety show), they wanted to see some later work by him.

Of course, with my family also being Tom Hanks fans, this film was an easy choice for a lazy Sunday afternoon. When I first saw this film it seemed funnier to me, but perhaps that is because the serious stuff really didn't hit home at that point in my youth, but having had my father die a rather lonely and broken man in a nursing ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - One of Hanks better movies....
Before he went all soporific on everybody. Before he made the ill-advised "Philadelphia" and then the cleverer "Forrest Gump", Hanks was actually a fairly broad comic actor. Some of his movies hit the mark, like "Splash" and "The Money Pit", and others bombed badly, like "The Man With One Red Shoe" and "Bachelor Party". He was great at playing overly-confident, affable yuppies that were almost always put-upon in the extreme or finding themselves in odd situations, like he did in this one.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Cats in the Cradle Revised
This is the first movie where Tom Hanks really began to show his depth. It was a film that required him to open with the comedic chops he's honed so well but then, because of the deepening of the film's story from comedy to drama, requested so much more of him. He ultimately delivers in spades.

This is really a story about a son moving very fast in the fast lane of advertising. He's a pro and he loves what he does. He's also a personality that lives on charm and in the moment. But when ... Read More
