After a brief overview of the “Guitar String/Wedding Ring‰” hitmaker‰’s latest musical masterpiece, I was only able to see that Tom Hanks either doesn‰’t know how to lip sync or doesn‰’t know the lyrics to a song with the word “really‰” in it 67 times. However, upon deeper reflection and a week‰’s worth of soul searching, I‰’m ready to re-watch the video for a pop song that has graced our hearts and minds. 

The first thing I notice is the alarm clock in the hotel room and wow, isn’t five a.m. early for Academy Award-winner Tom Hanks to wake up? But I guess he‰’s just a busy man, filming music videos with Canadian pop stars and all that. He also doesn‰’t hit the snooze button. Not even once.

I know this is supposed to be a hotel bathroom, but I‰’ve never been in one that displays three bottles of everything. Hotel shampoos are small, but I doubt that the man who produced Mama Mia! needs three for his one-day video shoot. I‰’m pretty sure Tom Hanks lives in New York, based on a story released about some guy named Tony who returned the actor’s lost credit card in New York.

A guy named Tony found my credit card on the street in NYC and returned it! Tony! You make this city even greater! Thanx. HANX.

I guess he could live in a hotel. In fact, I assume that most multi-millionaires from the Upper East Side live in hotels due to my extensive knowledge of Gossip Girl. Still, it feels as if he‰’s staying in this specific hotel for one night, possibly because it‰’s a few blocks closer to the “I Really Like You‰” video shoot than his normal penthouse. Which is pretty unnecessary when you think about it.

While I‰’m not surprised at all that Tom Hanks, who appeared in three episodes of Family Ties as Ned Donnelly, would high- and low-five random pedestrians, I‰’m slightly surprised that he manages to hail a cab within three seconds. Even Tom Hanks shouldn‰’t be able to grab a taxi off a random side street in Manhattan that quickly!

One game you can play is “How Many Forrest Gump References Do People Make in This Music Video?‰” So far, I‰’ve found two. Another game is “How Annoying Do You Think Tom Hanks Is about All of These Forrest Gump References on a Scale of One to Ten?‰” I‰’d go with a solid seven.

To be fair, Carly Rae Jepsen and Tom Hanks seem to have quite the emoji rapport going on, which I‰’d like to think was their primary form of communication until they met each other in person.

Another game you can play is “How Many Pictures of Patrick Dempsey Did They Insert into This Music Video?‰Û

The second best part of this video is when Tom Hanks, of Turner and Hooch, confesses that he‰’s pregnant to long-time friend and emoji user Carly Rae Jepsen. Why this exchange isn‰’t in the radio edit, I‰’ll never understand.

The first best part of this video is the final dance number. I don‰’t know if it‰’s the not-so-subtle Justin Bieber cameo, or the unwillingness from a certain actor to become an active participant in group choreography, or Carly Rae Jepsen‰’s lipstick game, but something about the last 30 seconds of “I Really Like You‰” Really Seem to Stick.

If I could recommend any improvements to what critics are calling “The Best Single of the 2010s after Uptown Funk,‰” it would be only this: more awkward dance montages, less shampoo bottles.
