'The Accidental Tourist' is a Human-Drama, that is honest, unspoken & devastated. Accomplished Filmmaker Lawrence Kasdan delivers a film, that truly ranks amongst his best works to date, and his handling to this tough & gritty subject, is excellent.
This is a personal drama focusing on the changes in a man's life that occurs when his wife of many years ups and leaves him. No, this is not a "Kramer Vs.
Honestly, I expected much more from this film. In addition to appears to be a little dated, I think it suffers immensely from the fact that the overwhelming majority of it's characters, including the protagonist, are boring or unpleasant.
I scratch my head at some of the reviews of this film. I see the odd person commenting on how boring or slow-moving it is.
Edward the Corgi steals this movie. Quite the little actor.
The Accidental Tourist is among the best movies ever made in the world.Maybe it is not absolutely the best, but as to me it is the most well understood one.
A fairly well done human drama about relationships, which manages to tackle the subject matter without becoming a romance, this is a superb film of its sort. The screenplay is excellently written, full of witty humour and biting satire, the film editing is admirable and the performances are excellent.
William Hurt and Kathleen Turner are so devastated by the death of their son that the marriage falls apart due to anguishing grief. Turner needs time to recover while Hurt is somber, numb, and grief-stricken to the point that he walks around in a daze, his face and demeanor barely able to contain the agony and loss he feels.
Life is makin' Macon Leary leery. After the death of his son, he continues to write travel guides for the weary traveler, advising them in such a way that it feels they've never left home while away.
