Negative Positive
Title: Patriotism is all well and good but..................
Review: I wasnt expecting this film to be a comedy, but the wooden cliche ridden acting admittedly had much of the audience in hysterics, despite the serious subject of war that lies somewhere within this extended soap opera. Seen from a British perspective, this film may not have quite the same relevance as it does to the target audience, but one line in particular stands out as the work of a scripting genius; the RAF bloke saying to Affleck "if all Americans are like you god help anyone who starts a war with you" (or something to that effect). Pleeeease. Another pointer to the inept directer of this pile of tripe; not showing the stars and stripes EVERY five minutes may save upwards of 20min film time, and therefore allow some sort of plot development, or other minor detail that is normally a prerequisite for a movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
