Top Critics. All Audience. Verified Audience. Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews. This not particularly tasty episode in American history is given the blandest possible treatment....
This movie is just plain bad. The special effects are miserable, the writing is horrid, the cinematography isn't much better, and the acting is straight out of a soap opera. A great movie to watch over and over, but only to make fun of.
