Don't miss the uncut version

The director's cut of this movie improves the movie 100%! Guy's relationship with his girlfriend (Tina) and his friendship with Jimmy's girlfriend (Faye) are enhanced, and the "I am Sparticus" reference finally makes sense. Many other scenes that were originally cut to the quick are restored, improving the storyline. What surprised me is why Tom Hanks allowed the film to be so severely cut in the first place for its initial debut. However, It is a much better film now and deserves to be given another viewing. My only criticism is that in the bonus material no mention was made on the songwriting, and how they pulled it off without replaying actual song hits of the 60's. That too, is a big part of the charm of this movie.
What's great about it: The story, the music
What's not so great: Bonus features should feature the music
I would recommend this to a friend!
