Grouchy Pessimist Liked It

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2004)

I saw the film after reading the negative reviews of people that are obviously more grouchy and pessimistic than myself. I liked it. Now I don't think being grouchy and pessimistic is necessarily bad.
The film doesn't explore any deep moral questions; you know who are the good guys and who the bad guys are right off, and stealing the Declaration of Independence is OK if you're doing it for good reason :)
What the film does do is impart mysticism on our country's history and makes you take new interest in it. The film is action packed and doesn't really get boring. And I was giggling intermittently at the 'Bad' jokes!
Yep, it's not exactly believable, but then we'd end up with films about our daily lives; Some overweight jerk going to work and gossiping about his coworkers for eight hours before driving home in his pedestrian SUV to a thoroughly pedestrian homelife, only to finally die after re-telling Al Bundy like stories about his exploits on the High School football team at some puke suburbanite chain bar-restaurant. Many movies, which are rightfully highly acclaimed, certainly have no chance of being believed.
Go see the movie and pay the eight bucks, or wait a few weeks until it's in the discount theaters.
