I just want to take the time to recommend a movie to my friends. Big thumbs up to Ben Stiller for making this film. I counted only one minor bad word, no nudity or anything else that would keep kids from enjoying it. The lesson that museums are cool is certainly refreshing.

To follow my own tip and stay on topic it was strange to see Union and Confederate soldiers, made of cloth mannequins come to life and fight the war all over every night. Their wounds would "bleed" cloth stuffing LOL! Finally they get reprimanded and reminded that they are brothers and should not be fighting.

Stiller lets 'em have these wordss... "The north wins, ok?...slavery, bad! But you guys get... the Allman Brothers and... Nascar!" Later when the Rebs and Yanks team up to capture one of the bad guys I saw a microcosm of what our nation has in fact gone on to do.

If this review seems weird I apologize. But for good family fun and a nice history lesson snuck into the plot I do think this a good movie.
