Ooh, finally another vote for Hands Up the other fine civil war comedy from the year. Movieguide, if it isn’t too much trouble could you change my number one choice to Hands Up as I would really like to see it on the final list. I admit it might be slightly disingenuous of me to do so as it really isn’t better than The General, but I like it enough to make the issue moot and I’d hate to see it left off the final tally.
That’s okay, Greg. I always promote some titles with 2 votes but, since I’ve never seen it, I can’t do that with Hands Up!
