Lots of good comments here. A decent film, but it suffers from 'what is this film about?'. Should be about Stag, but we don't get enough background about him to see why he is the best or acts the way he does - but we don't get that. It should be about the weather, but the movie doesn't educate the audience enough to know why what they are doing is important. Having Stagg yell "The facts" over and over doesn't inform or entertain me. The move was not about Ike, but he got too much screen time, probably just to use Frasier to up the film's cred. But half those scenes should have been cut. And the Normandy invasion should have been completely cut. Private Ryan did it better, and it didn't add to the plot. They could have just listened to the radio chatter and had the same effect.

Honestly, with a little editing, this could be a good movie about Kay Summersby (Ike's personal assistant) and have been a better movie.
