Hurray for the red, white, and blue!

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2001)

Being a very patriotic and American girl, I absolutely loved this movie! But a warning to you British folk out there: don't see it. Unless you like seeing the former soldiers of your country portrayed as evil villains. Sorry, but it's an American movie, not a British one. Anyway, back to the American point of view. This film did a great job of combining action scenes, with family moments and good comedy relief. The battles and the clothing were all very well suited to the time period. Although, I was a bit hesitant to see this movie when I found out that two Australians were playing American soldiers, I am glad I didn't hold myself back because of it. Mel Gibson was great as usual, and I was really impressed with Heath Ledger's acting ability and the hiding of his native Australian accent. And of course, who doesn't think he's pretty darn hot!? I would give this movie an A+.
