While the premise sounds promising, I could not help but feel Clooney was trying to direct two separate movies, a Cohen Brothers-type dark comedy, and a "Saving Private Ryan"-esque war movie, and ended up with one movie with either a serious identity crisis or bipolar disorder.
I give it four thumbs down.

The whole movie seemed a little off. Like it was spinning it's tires and couldn't get going good.
And it did look as if it was trying to ride the coat tail of private Ryan.
It even had the old man many years later scene.
that's funny, my sister in-law basically said the same thing. She said John Goodman was good in it, but that Damon and Clooney were not very good.
What movie has Clooney been good in? The only movie I would even give him half of a stumped thumb up to is, "Oh Brother".
I said in the other thread about this movie(shocker, there's more than one), that I had high hopes for this flick based on the cast and it was a giant dissappointment. Sadly, I bought it on a whim sight unseen, so I own this turd for eternity....
Sounds like a giveaway is in order!!!! [:D]
I try to be objective and take it for what it is, not who is producing it. Only a truly narrow-minded person, or a liberal, cannot abide hearing opinions other than those that they themselves espouse.
I try not to throw the baby out with the bath water. In the case of this movie, I objectively believe it sucks.
I do like watching movies with John Goodman in it.
If I let a person's politics direct my choices in movies, television shows, books, and music, the list to choose from would be a short one. Some of the greatest contributions to society in general, not just entertainment, have been made by people whose political and social philosophies are far different than mine.

Well, as long as you're objective about it. [:D]
His comment about Charlton Heston REALLY pissed me off.
I enjoyed it, but I think it would have been a lot better either as a straight up serious Band of Brothers style movie, or as a pure comedy. Trying to do both, it just lost its way. I'd give it 2.5/5 stars. Worth seeing, but I won't be seeing it again.

I bought it digitally on amazon or I'd happily give it away...
