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.

I wanted something that wasn't too loud and not too soft. I wasn't expecting action or a solid comedy. I just wanted something well done. The fact that Paul Giamotti was in it was a big draw. He is a subtly strong actor and a joy to watch him do his thing.
The time period was well represented in this film. The music and details felt like a comfortable pair of shoes. This is a warm Christmas movie, but not like an unrealistic Hallmark movie. It just works well.
I just enjoyed the ride and remember well the private schools of the seventies (although I never was a student of one). I went to Catholic school, so that is close enough.
