I have the film on DVD and I admit it...I watch it, when I need a giggle. One of the commentators has noted how Tom Hanks is such a great comedian in this film. I personally wish, that he would find his way back to his comic roots. As he has more than proved, that he is a great and versatile actor. The one-liners and the comic situations are endless. What makes this work so well, is the characters are absolute opposites in opinions, style and outlook. The whole story is ably supported by all participants. Special mention for the bait-mates scene, where Hanks and Ackroyd get information from Caesar. The whole thing was brilliantly funny. Hanks behaviour when meeting all those girls, and revealing his taste for soft-core porn issues, clearly rankled Ackroyd's Friday. The scene with Sylvia Wiss...well, you just have to see it! I must admit, that if being a Police Officer was anything the way Hanks played his character, we'd all want to join up!
Anyway, I enjoyed the film and the humour that was engaged in, is timeless.
