To put it simply… EXCELLENT MOVIE!

There is nothing deep about this movie, it is just, quite simply, a very funny, fun, and enjoyable ride!! It’s one of those movies that children would love, and adults would love just as much. The comedy isn’t outlandish or vicious in any way. The characters (even the bad guys) are likable in their own ways.

One of my favorite moments was in the diaroma room. In one display is the roman empire, and right next to the romans is a scene of the expansion of the american railways out to west. These two groups are feuding, and in one scene you see the romans using a battering ram against the wall leading into the wild west scene, and when asked what they are doing, they respond “we must expand to survive!”. In the wild west scene, they are setting up dynamite against the moutain shaped wall leading to the romans, and when they are asked what they are doing, they respond “It’s manifest destiny!”.

Robin Williams… always a wonderful comedic actor… plays Rosevelt and is Ben Stiller’s character’s support throught the movie, offering up advice and trying to help Stiller’s character become a better man by having him face all of the challenges head on. One of the best things about Robin Williams he is a wonderful lead actor, but also a wonderful supporting actor. He can share the spotlight very easily. Never once did he ever seem like he was taking over a scene, and yet, he lent just the right amount of humor to the movie.
