Reviews
|
Chicago Tribune -
The movie is a delight in many ways: an unabashed romantic comedy and Capraesque fable that takes Spielberg into realms he's rarely traveled before.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
In a summer of remakes, sequels and movies swollen with effects, The Terminal stands out as a strikingly original comedy.
|
|
Variety -
This buoyant, optimistic fable seems to share in the late Ronald Reagan's optimism for America. It does so with the help of a gifted comic ensemble led by Tom Hanks.

|
Dallas Observer -
Thanks to Spielberg's vivid storytelling and Hanks' matchless gift for bringing the common man to life, this is a relentlessly charming movie.

|
ReelViews -
To be savored for its unhurried approach and simple fish-out-of-water story that favors individual character-driven moments over dramatic plot developments.
