It's sloppy and corny, but earnest in a way that too few big movies are these days. I'd put this movie over Pearl Harbor or Windtalkers or any other "fun" WWII I can recall in recent years.

Hard to imagine me as a ten-year-old wouldn't have really dug this and at the same time wanted to open up a book about who these Tuskegee dudes really were. Seems like mission accomplished to me.
