The best movie I've seen all year!

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2004)

Having studied American history to an almost sickening extent in AP US History last year, I was thrilled to be able to put some of my knowledge to use in a fun way. Just hearing the actors say things I knew was entertaining, not to mention the comic relief provided by Riley and the wow-this-movie-makes-you-think!-ness of it all. The plot was great - everything seemed believable! Except for the fact that you only see a person eating once, when Riley eats some pizza. Riley was definitely my favorite character, and Nicholas Cage was amazing. Not having seen many great movies this year, I'm glad something great finally came along. Seeing it on my birthday made it even more special!
