I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
