Great costumes, pretty good acting and a good way to attach personalities to the founding fathers when reading history. After the first viewing, I would recommend fast forwarding through the musical numbers. Adams was chubbier and balder in life, but that is just nitpicking. The movie makes a point of showing that the signing of the Declaration of Independence was just the beginning of a long struggle. It also shows just how fragile the relationships between the colonies were at that time. Definitely worth watching if you are into American history.
