The next movie on our journey is a movie called Nothing in Common.
This is the story of David Basner. A high end executive at an advertising agency and doing well for himself that is until one very odd day. David gets a call from his father Max informing him that his mother has left him. David now finds himself in this new position of mediator between his newly separated parents. David now has to do things he never thought he would have to do. Like put other people before himself, grow up and do mature things, and learn how to deal with the fact that his father is sick.
Ok, so we are still in the rut of not the most popular movies that Mr. Hanks has done. However, this is the movie that most people agree really started his transition to a more dramatic actor. I will have to agree. I am not sure what he was taught or what came over him for all of the pieces to align to give this great performance but it was wonderful. Not anything near the performances that we would know and love but it's the real first step in the right direction.
