Why make such a corny and incredibly predictable film?
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
The painstaking authenticity and appealing cast of Flyboys can't overcome the cloyingly formulaic nature of its story.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Rotten
This is old-school moviemaking, for better or worse, which means rat-a-tat dogfights in the sky combined with overripe romantic and social cliches on the ground.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
Besides some fine dogfight sequences, it often feels threadbare, just an exercise in recycling.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
