My son and I enjoyed it. Good family entertainment.

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2004)

Not a bad film. Some historical accuracy, but weren't there 56 (not 55) signers of the Declaration of Independence? We liked the blending of the historical and fictional. Also it was a good U.S. based film, Washington, Philadelphia, New York...etc. We also liked that it was rated PG. There are so few movies (other than animated ones) that you can take the whole family to. No language, sex and minimal violence. See it can be done. Thank you again for a good show Mr. Bruckheimer. You have shown that Hollywood can do it if they try. I thought at the end you were lining us up for a sequel. I suppose that is still possible depending on how much this one makes.
