CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Dan Baker on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on October 31st, reviewing the film “Here,” reuniting “Forrest Gump” stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright directed by Robert Zemeckis. In theaters on November 1st.

The story takes place in one location, mostly in one room, the living room of Richard Young (Tom Hanks) and his wife Margaret (Robin Wright). The premise of the film is that it shows the history of the house location, even going back to prehistoric days, but mostly focusing on the Young family’s situations from the 1960s to the 2000s, including Richard’s father Al (Paul Bettany) and mother Rose (Kelly Reilly). But there are also other families/couples who lived in the house, and even the Native American tribe who once settled there. This is one nutty place to be “Here.”
