I hate this film for two reasons:
1. Steve Martin is in it. Why? Why? Why? When did this very talented and funny man go from innovative genius to doofus in a stupid family movie? Really ruined his image for me.
2. OK, take a TRUE STORY which also happens to be an interesting piece of American history as well. Then take the (extremely well made) movie version from 1950, throw in the (also well done) sequel in as well. Chuck them all down the toilet and mix in stupid jokes, and you get this dreck.
Ew Ew Ew
When people look up the phrase "the dumbing down" of America, they should have a picture of the 2003 version of this film next to that phrase. Sums it up perfectly.
