Reviews (1)
A classic Disney movie for the whole family. It has nothing to do with history; rather, it's a story akin to Tom Sawyer's but set when he's forty years old, and so is everyone else around him. It tries for humor, but it's more of a slapstick that isn't all that funny; every now and then, a bit of tension buildup provides some relief. An average family film.
