Great for a Disney Movie

Rating: 5/10 (3 December 2013)

Acting was amazing but the script was horrible. When my wife and I saw the movie, within the first five minutes I said to her, "This isn't at all what I thought it would be." This was due, mainly, to a voice-over of death (which continued throughout the movie) and could not have been more cheesy. It took a dramatic time in history and made it seem like a filler. The movie would have been much more powerful if the death scenes were acted out rather than death saying "it was just so easy. Everyone thought she was snoring." That said, there were some extremely powerful relationship moments. If it weren't for the cheesiness--if they could have really grasped the WWII concept--this movie would have been a 10. Instead, it's a five, which really should have been a 4.
