This impressively staged and beautifully shot (at times it feels like a moving Norman Rockwell painting) adaptation of William Saroyan's novel The Human Comedy marks Meg Ryan's directorial debut. Its coming-of-age story follows 14 year-old Homer (Alex Neustaedter) as he starts delivering telegrams in the early 1940s, with his breezy life changing as he has to start delivering bad news. Tom Hanks and Sam Shepard contribute telling cameos. (Edinburgh International Film Festival)

The only thing I got from this movie was the finding that Meg Ryan isn’t as young as she was in previous movies.

Meg Ryan tried so hard to make this film full of emotions that there's basically nothing else in it, and you just feel like you're being emotionally manipulated. Yes, there's a great depiction of the era, there's Tom Hanks for about 10 seconds, there are other excellent actors, the setting of World War II, and the wait for news of death, but it's still tragically boring...
