Simply told, utterly charming, the confection that is THE GREAT BUCK HOWARD features John Malkovich on holiday from weirdness and just plain funny as a diva mentalist. But just as terrific: watching Colin Hanks mature into a leading man — and watching his two scenes with Tom as father and son! — Jeff Schultz

Simple and sweet, The Great Buck Howard is a winner. It’s tough to not love Malkovich and Hanks is great too. Why this nice little gem bypassed theaters is one thing I will never understand. Charming and original, Buck really is Great! — Stormy Curry
