I enjoyed this movie because it felt so true to life for me. Simply because I saw my own son reflected in the movie. As a parent of a child with Aspberger's this movie was so hard to watch at times. He want's Oskar to learn how to function in the real world by interacting with people. As Tom Schell he wants his son to transcend the boundaries of his aspberger's. Hanks does a emotional job that is refreshing and vibrant.
Tom Hanks has basically a extended cameo but he turns in a startling job. As well as the people he meets on his quest. What he finds and what he experiences will change his life and his mother's life forever. Struggling with his loss he goes on this quest to find his Dad. He takes this to mean it's a quest from his Dad. Oskar finds a key in a blue vase,in his father's closet. He gives Oskar a mission and provided the clues.
His mother wonderfully played by Sandra Bullock stands at the sidelines and let's the father and son Bond. His Father Tom always found things for him to do that got him involved in one way or the other in the real world. I found Thomas Horn's performance almost uncannily like my son's.
