Something to Stand For with Mike Rowe

Mike Rowe does a good job of providing entertaining reenactments of little known pieces of American history. He narrates the dialogue which can be a little out of sync with the actors.

The movie gives all Americans an opportunity to relive moments in history that aren't commonly known. This gives movie goers the chance to feel like they are part of history. It covers stories from the American Revolution through the Reagan years.

In between stories, Mike goes to various monuments in Washington and speaks to park rangers and visitors.

The movie was made in Oklahoma with actors and crew from Oklahoma. They all did a wonderful job.

Mike Rowe has always been an excellent storyteller and this movie was a great vehicle for that. Speaking of vehicles: the old Bronco definitely fit Mike's personality.

There were several vignettes that spoke to the backstory of American history. I learned a lot and it made me appreciate our historical figures all the more. Abe Lincoln called out in a dual with broadswords, Wow, Abe was a master at diplomacy.

Several of the historical stories were initially framed in modern times so as to demonstrate the absurdity compared to today's standards. Freedom was not free.

Mike definitely needs to make another one of these movies.

This is one of my favorite movies in recent history. Consider Mike Rowe the King Midas of story telling. Everything he touches turns to gold. This movie will evoke emotions, patriotism, and a genuine warmth cradled in a sense of pride.

The movie tells stories of famous historical figures in a way that Engages the audience, while also delivering Intrigue. As the mystery unfolds and details bring you closer to the answer, You'll find yourself, guessing, probably incorrectly, and eventually landing on the answer or being surprised by it.

It's nice to see a movie that is pro-America and pro historical relevance. Thanks Mike!

Perfect movie for being watched on July 4th or really any other day too. It was like taking a vacation from all the polarization due our politics.

It was very captivating with both entertaining and teaching segments about the intimate details of our important history and with again no politics involved (whew).

It was also fun trying to guess who in each segment was the hero(s) that would be uncovered at the end. I learned a lot plus was very entertained for an hour plus.

It was the type of feel good movie that when it concluded the audience clapped enthusiastically with I believe tears in many eyes including my own.

Thank you Mike Rowe for this timely gift. I look forward to more from you and joinned your email list to kept in the loop.

Definitely 👍👍 up!

Highly recommend this for everyone...especially if you have Grade School and High School age children. Great insight to our Country's history...with some laughs, tears and a few "did you know that?"'s thrown in.

Will make a wonderful movie to watch on your July Fourth Holiday. It is definitely non-partisan...it is Patriotic. Takes us through various eras of American history with little known stories of famous (some not so famous) people.

Certainly hope Mike and his team make this into a series of movies. My family will definitely be watching this again when it is Streaming.
