Wanted to like it, but...

This lacked any kind of depth. Maybe I was expecting too much from it after seeing Ricky Gervais's "After Life", which did a much better job exploring grief. The characters were simplistic, two-dimensional, and boring. It seemed like the story moved them rather than the other way around, like they were just there to make a statement and wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for the plot. I also hated the social justice tropes, like we all need to be preached to in some sad, shallow morality play. Tom Hanks was good. I think he did as much as humanly possible to make this character work. It just wasn't a good vehicle.
