    ★★★½

    This movie had a smoke machine, questionable CGI and a dream.

    Didn’t expect Captain Holts first words to be “motherfucker”, to be sooooo insufferable and to disappear and never to be seen again.

    Toby Jones?? Sorry what?

    I appreciated how quickly it all kicks off, with the army guys and sirens.

    How much did the guy that said “that was an earthquake” get paid?

    Another one of those comedy movies that never gets old.

    The ensemble cast are strong, characters each with their own unique personalities.

    This movie is so nostalgic to me.

    I adore Tom Hanks, he is one of my comfort actors and I love him in this role. His immediate protection and love for Madison is so adorable.

    John Candy and Eugene Levy add the perfect amount of comedic value.
