I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
