Assistant Navy Secretary Theodore Roosevelt decides to experience the war first hand by promoting and joining a volunteer cavalry regiment. The regiment brings together volunteers from all corners of the nation and all walks of life.

A mammoth piece of war/mustache porn with the spirit of an old serial, by which I mean the bootcamp hijinks are like an hour long and contain enthusiastic watermelon-smashing (the watermelons are dressed as people). Tom Berenger plays Teddy Roosevelt like a dorky history teacher who introduces lessons in character after recording himself with a camcorder rehearsing the whole night before. George Hamilton is William Randolph Hearst. Illeana Douglas is in it. It's better than SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.

There are a lot of big name actors and character actors in this and they tend to make this really watchable and entertaining. I found this too be too long but I tried not to fault it since this was originally a TV miniseries. But the film loses some points for being overly goofy at times.
