Most of the characters are flat and the portrayals stagey.

Declamatory acting, cleanly stated motivations and a few solidly staged battle sequences are the order of the day.

Feeling much longer than its two hours, Young Washington suffers from the stiff, stodgy quality of so many historical dramas, especially those concerning that particular period of history.

Even if this movie feels like it more comfortably belongs on the History Channel instead of a wide summer break in theaters, it fills the bill for patriotism over this Fourth of July weekend.

Even apart from the dull filmmaking and hollow storytelling, the deeper complexities within the lens of Washington’s story are properly explored.

It's a story that is inherently compelling as a piece of overlooked history, but the execution of that storytelling is inherently flawed and counterintuitive.
