Before the United States enters World War I, some American youths volunteer for the French military. Subsequently, they become the first U.S. fighter pilots and form a squadron known as the Lafayette Escadrille, whose exploits and heroism become the stuff of legend. This fictional version follows a laconic Texas rancher, an eager Nebraska kid, a Black boxer already in France, and a New York swell, as they arrive green for training, get their baptism by fire when German planes ambush them on their first mission, and graduate to heroics. Rawlings, the Texan, falls in love with a young woman he meets at a brothel.
Leave your thoughts about Flyboys.
| tonymedley.comTony MedleySure, it's schmaltzy. But this doesn't pretend to be something it's not. It's a 124-minute old-fashioned, John Wayne-type, feel good war movie. And what's wrong with that? I loved it. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThe aerial combat scenes are visually stunning. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[A] grand yarn of adventure and catastrophe... big and emotional and sentimental without being sappy... It's an instant new classic in my own little pantheon of favorite films. I love love love this movie. |
| LYTRules.comLuke Y. ThompsonThe flying sequences are great fun, and there are a lot of them. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovHaving now seen this and next week's The Guardian consecutively, I could write a thesis on what happens when reliable movie conventions become hideous excesses. |

| Honolulu Star-AdvertiserBurl BurlingameEach air battle has been scripted as a set piece that not only shows off the capabilities of the pilots and their machines, but also advances the plot. Bring your Dramamine! |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettIt's as family-friendly as a war movie can be these days, relying on the daring of its amazing aerial sequences rather than carnage or vulgarity to promote its authenticity. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy Klein...the movie's main virtue may be scholarly: The filmmakers have gathered, all in one place, a century's worth of war-movie clichés. |
| Murphy's Movie ReviewsTed MurphyA throwback to old-fashioned movie making, FLYBOYS is enjoyable but overlong. Judicious editing might have helped. It might have also been better if the script went through at least one more draft. Still, it should be seen on the big screen for the stunni |
