3 hours too long

Rating: 4/10 (2 January 2007)

This movie did not end.... I heard a comment on my way out of the movies...
"Honey what time is it?"
"Quarter to 4, why?"
... "Didn't we get here at 12:40??"
The movie started very slow and the back and for from college to career was very annoying at times.
Some people should just stay actors. I don't know if this was the problem or not and I'm not sure if De Niro has done other movies like this. It was almost like the editor tried so hard to make past and present come to life that they forgot to edit down the movie.
I thought the movie had a lot of potential and while it did tell a great story and reveal our history, it did not hold me attention.
If you are a super history buff, you may hold this in higher regards but I believe the general public would rather label it as a documentary.
Therefore I rate this a 4.
