The Worst Tom Hanks Movie of All Time, According to Critics
The country's most beloved actor has still made some notoriously bad films.
There are few actors with a better track record than Tom Hanks. The Oscar-winning star of classics like Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, and Big has an impressive filmography and an affable demeanor that has helped him become one of the country's most beloved celebrities. You could endlessly debate the best Hanks performance, with choices as eclectic as Philadelphia and Toy Story. But what about the disappointing entries on his résumé? We have a clear handle on the top picks, but it's time to look at the worst Tom Hanks movies ever made.
