Tom Hanks is ridiculous in this.

Tom Hanks is fundamentally incapable of playing a role that even borders on character actor territory.

This is because he's a bad actor.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I like him best when he’s goofy: Big, Burbs, Dragnet, Ladykillers. Not his best projects, but my favorite characters he’s done

Hated it. I'd have to think about replacements but Hanks and Wayans would be the first cuts. Really you could recast everyone other than Simmons and da god Stephen Root

Actually I changed my mind--cast Root as Goldthwaite and recast his part. Instantly a better movie.
