Review of Flyboys (2006) by Tehe T — 18 Mar 2014

You know, I know this film was trying to do nothing but be uplifting and whitewash the horrors of war, but I was enjoying it. Problem is, it just kept hitting the audience over the head with the schmaltz.

There's a tipping point, right around where our main character disobeys an order and magically saves the day and is pardoned, where the clichés finally begin to override the enjoyment.
