Jeeze Colonel!
What possessed you to run such a mean-spirited review about what is a rather sweet little movie, one that looks at America the way people used to look at her – as a country full of hope and possibility? Two famous New Zealanders are Ed Hillary, first to climb Mt Everest, and Ernest Rutherford, first to split the atom (which may account for our skitteshness about things nuclear). Yes, we were pleased to have US Marines here in 1942, but would have preferred to have them in 1939, 1940, & 1941 when our boys were in Europe and your boys were sitting it out. And Guy Pearce is an Australian.
