Penn was perfectly cast in this movie, unfortunately Marty McFly, sorry Doc Hollywood, sorry Michael J Fox wasn't. For me, Fox is an actor who is able to play aimiable, comic roles well because it doesn't involve much acting on his part.
This is a powerful, gut wrenching story, done a disservice by the casting of a lightweight comedy actor in the lead role.
Tom Hanks moved from comedy (Bachelor Party) to a powerful war story (Saving Private Ryan) and was totally distinguishable in the two roles. Fox was Marty McFly in both Back to the Future and Casualties of War.
