Jeff Daniels does a lot of movies, spanning a lot of types of roles.  But believe me... it's hard to believe that this is the same guy who played in Dumber & Dumber.  THIS is a man playing GEORGE WASHINGTON... and while I'm in no way a history buff, I LOVE his portrayal of General Washington, and the whole story of the Deleware crossing, and how that one tiny thread of incredibly fated success turned the whole tide of the Revolutionary War.  Awesome movie... awesome acting... and not typical for the types of movies he plays.
