He succeeded in telling the story of Americas first celebrity. Not everyone has the attention span to watch a film like this

"Wan attempt", "third-tier goofballs", "whiny, ingratiating teen"? Well, I guess this is just a thumbnail summary review...but still, it's incredibly "off." Oh well, it's ancient history, the movie is all-time-classic.
