FLYBOYS is ever so nice, in the manner of a Norman Rockwell illustration....[The director] is a gentleman, moving things along with a tidy, well-mannered hand

Good story, but not too well told..
Before the USA officially joined WW1, several american boys who did not have to do so, bravely (or for a sense of adventure) volunteered for action overseas. ... read more »

Definitely No Spruce Goose
The CGI dogfights and special effects in this film are very impressive (especially with a surround sound system!) making this the films definitive highlight.
