I just saw this one. Though it was corny and I can see why many disliked it, I couldn't stop laughing. Whether the jokes were good or bad, I laughed and that is good enough for me to call it good. I was surprised as well by how well done it was. The quality was excellent. I guess if I was in a bad mood, this movie wouldn't be half as good, but I thought it to be enjoyable and would recommend it for the parents and kids to enjoy. Granted, everything in it is historically incorrect but that's the fun part! I give Tom Hanks a lot of credit for making this a good flick, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was the best movie of all time and a beautiful piece of art, but a movie doesn't have to be beautiful to be good.
