Seriously, when I was twelve, I would have loved this movie. I would have my little American flags at hand ready to wave at each and every great American victory. But I am an adult now and I find the story to simple, to predictable and downright childish. Observe the Ford CEO who we are fear more than God himself. See here, the crazy loser lunatic genius who turns out to be the winner, and he is oh so lovable. Ahh, we just can't get enough of the American mentality of tenaciously fighting and eventually winning against all odds. Especially winning over the smug Europeans. In the end we are so much better!

Come on guys, the story is a cheap appeal by the money making film makers to the simple minded chauvinists among us. To the simpletons among us that never tire of stereotype, two dimensional characters that we recognize so easily. Let's grow up and ask for more intelligent movies. Movies that are just a wee bit more subtle. Where we might just have to think a little bit.
