Not Hanks' finest work, but still watchable.

C’était censé être quoi ? drôle ? touchant ? après la moindre des choses serait de faire un film où tu regardes pas ta montre toutes les trois secondes !

A really good funny adventure of a washed up salesman stumbling his way through Sadia Arabia. One gripe is that the film feels like it goes on a bit longer than it needs to.
It could have gone through the part with the doctor a lot quicker and got to him staying in Sadi Arabia
