I hated this movie. I hated the era-inappropriate drivel on the soundtrack (that paltry electronica wasn't music!) and I resent -- to this day -- the sheer, attitudinizing smugness of it all. I hated the conspiratorial presumption of…

Brilliantly acted feelgood Civil Rights era period piece. Never gets old and never fails to bring a smile to my face. Just a splendid piece of cinema. Freeman and Tandy shine like the sun.
