<p>Don’t understand most of your criticisms. I thought the movie had:</p>
<p>Riveting opening scenes -some welding, too</p>
<p>Heavyweight characters -or do I mean overweight</p>
<p>Knockout locations - sometimes just a knockdown</p>
<p>Weighty dialogue - “185”, that Snickers sandwich looked appealing)</p>
<p>Suspense- I was completely blindsided when Jake decided to challenge Lt. Cole in the Brigade Championships.</p>
<p>Unbelievable Special Effects - Ali’s Navy-issue PT’s looked like designer fashion outfits. Also, Jake’s sideburns before arriving at academy.</p>
<p>Poignant Social Commentary - Girls just want to have fun (and kiss).</p>
<p>Can’t wait til it comes out on DVD. (Shouldn’t have to wait very long.)</p>
