Totally stiff and dull retelling about What Made America So Great. I really wasnt expecting too much out of this film to begin with, looking at the screen stills. The actor who is playing George Washington does a good job, but compares to Anothony Hopkins playing Nixon in the 'looking nothing like him department'. Dull dull dull.
