Lets
get this out of the way. This movie is funny. Intentionally funny.
Character-based humor, not falling-in-shit gags. I laughed out loud at
least ten times during this film and I’ve laughed less at comedies that
I gave good reviews. Abraham Lincoln liked to tell stories, whether
they be parables or anecdotes, and they are funny. Even the reactions
to his stories, sometimes before he even starts telling them, are funny.
There is a warmth to this movie, a story about bloodshed and misery
and depression and demons and the nation torn asunder, that is
unexpected and wonderful. Abe Lincoln loved his country and his fellow
man, and this is a loving tribute to the man.
