I truly don't understand why this film is being excoriated the way it is.

Maybe slightly politically correct but nowhere near the drivel that most films updated to be PC are.

One reviewer said "updated without over correcting" and I think that's pretty accurate.

Well acted and well directed. Nice visual effects and some heart to the story.

Not a masterpiece by any stretch, but quite good and definitely better than some other adaptations in the past 20 years or so....

The director also made the Pete's Dragon adaptation a few years back that is drastically underrated.

Watch this and you'll see that it's very enjoyable.

I have read so many negative reviews on this film (many of them pure nonsense) that I just don't understand. Is this the best documentary film ever? Hardly. It is, however, a moving testament to the greatness of the American Idea and a thought-provoking counter response to the drivel being constantly spewed by social leftists and the liberal media and academia in this country that we should be ashamed of all the "atrocities" our nation has been guilty of. While it does point out that there have been dark periods in our history, it also uses scenario after scenario to demonstrate how much positive change America (and the American ideal) has instigated the world. It points out that we are not alone in the less-than-illustrious chapters in our history, much of the world was on the same page back then. However, it is also our principles of justice and liberty which played a pivotal role in changing our nation - and indeed, the world - for the better. Perhaps overly-sentimentalized at moments, and feeling a little bit disjointed at others, this film is nonetheless a remarkable gem of patriotism and counterpoint to the liberal revisionist history being disseminated through our schools and media. A great film for Independence Day - or any other day for those that wish to be reminded of America's greatness - and how great we may be again!

An independent film about...well, an independent filmmaker! Mike Jittlov is a filmmaker who specializes in animation and special effects. This is a light-hearted and endearing satire about the trials and tribulations faced by independent filmmakers in Hollywood. One of the better independent comedies I've seen, this film will make you appreciate all the talent that we so often forget about when watching movies and make you want to cheer for the underdog as he goes up against the system. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, this film has never been released on DVD. But if you still have a videotape player, this movie should be added to your collection right away!
