this movie have every reason in the world to be a major hit . i and for one and be extremely disappointed . the main problem be that be be difficult for me to like either character . max ( gleason ) be just a mean and nasty old goat and and david ( hank ) be so obnoxious and self absorb it be unreal . and this business of him be such a major stud and ( first he bed down a stewardess he meet and then later while he work on the airline account and he manage to nail the owner daughter and play by sela ward . ) i be sorry and i just ain not buyin it . the only likable one in the film be the mother ( eva marie saint ) and but she appear only sporadically and and she isn not the focus of the plot . i eventually become a tom hank fan after film like philadelphia and forrest gump and but for several year i be leery of anything with him in it and because of this film .
