MCT:September 16, 2008Not strictly historically accurate, but fun, with good music, good acting, and plenty of humor. My favorite non-Disney musical.

ery few names are well known from this seventies musical, but I have found it to be one of my favorites. William Daniels portrayal of zealous John Adams is quite fun to see especially when everyone else is exclaiming for him to sit down when he gets too uppity. Each song furthers the story so well and each performer does it so well it is a joy to watch. The song with Blythe Danner who is portraying Martha Jefferson is quite touching and fun, ?She Plays the Violin.? This playful film about our founding fathers is one those underrated films that I like to give some credit to.

I loved this movie. We watch it history class, and despite that it is a little stupid and pointless at some parts, it was quite funny and enjoyable. I actucually can't wait to watch it again

Really good history-based musical about the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I watch this every July 4th.
Great performances coupled with a great dialogue and lyrics. The performers really sell this film. -

I remember when I was a Founding Father, I had imaginary conversations with my wife. And I played the violin.

I learned more about the Declaration of Independence from this movie than all my years in school - the best history class you will ever take!

No matter how disillusioned I am with the current administration, this movie helps me to remember our ideals as a nation, how far we've come in fulfilling them and how much more work we have to do

The scene where Lee is getting on his horse and strings about one hundred adverbs together would be great for an english class. I wouldn't show the whole movie however and it is rather bawdy in places

This is not only a history lesson, but shows the very real love story between John and Abigail Adams. This is a great movie! I cannot see or hear William Daniels without thinking of this film.

Well, I've finally seen this movie; after my mom singing "he plays the violiiiiin" every time my sister has to go violin, after my sister saying, "you should watch that movie!" over and over again, I finally saw it.
I liked it. It was very fun, (though I wish there wasn't so much bad language in it) and the songs were catchy and cool. It was also interesting, especially the ending. I enjoyed it a lot. -

A somewhat underappreciated musical about the individuals and events surrounding the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. Despite historical slant, it really is quite fun with several catchy tunes and great acting.

MCT:February 24, 2007This movie was majoyly old! I didn't like it at all! I thought it was actually kind of dumb! Although, they had good voices. It was just too in the past for me.

Jah, had to sit through this for History class during Jr. High. Don't think it was really necessary.

This movie has a few dull times, but they are blown away compared to the comedy in this movie. I also like how you can learn from it as well!

I saw this at Radio City Music Hall on the wide screen, and I stop and watch it every time it is on televison. Some of the performances are really hammy (I'm looking at Richard Henry Lee), but the movie works for me.

I caught part of this on T.V. last night and I must say that it was an amazing film. The songs are quite lovely as well.
