Cast Away is a good film but not Oscar-worthy...not even for Hanks(Who I like a lot). Critics have blasted the ending but if they ended it the feelgood way it still would have been blasted. I would give this a B.

must have a group of people cheering the hero. That is the standard Hollywood finale. I read a review once about the cheering style and they named 50 or so movies. It never occured to me how many movies are self basting. The reviewer was commenting how people don't cheer at the end of movies anymore and producers realized if the movie cheers itself the partons get the same feeling. A psychological ploy. My wife and I laugh now whenever we see a self basting movie.
