Tiny bit disappointed...
I guess I was expecting a whole lot from this movie...not that I thought it was bad, it just felt soooo corny. James Cagney was good...funny, very entertaining. And I liked the way the movie was shot...seemed very ahead of it's time.
I appreciate the patriotism, but it was the same thing over and over again. It was just in your face every five seconds and halfway through the movie, I was already pretty tired of it. It wasn't like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington where the story itself was patriotic, it was literally song after dance after song about USA! Yankee Doodle! George Washington!
I'd give it a nice 7/10...all the other message boards on here made it sound FANTASTIC and I thought it was just good, not fantastic.
