lol why listen to a bunch of "professionals" who quite literally watch movies for a living when there's a whole internet comment section full of trustworthy anonymous conservatives, many of whom were sheltered from that dreaded pop culturelol why listen to a bunch of "professionals" who quite literally watch movies for a living when there's a whole internet comment section full of trustworthy anonymous conservatives, many of whom were sheltered from that dreaded pop culture during their childhoods, here to educate you on the finer points of filmmaking and screenwriting and all the other artsy-fartsy things that are actually mostly made by liberals now that I think about it? Can't you sheeple see that each of these "professionals" from disparate parts of the country writing for competing publications are nonetheless part of a great liberal conspiracy to keep the masses ignorant by teaching them how to critically assess the unquestionable truths I just happen to believe in?

Don't listen to any of those biased liberals; they're literally banking on this movie, and the country from which its title derives, to fail! I mean, did THEY spend their hard-earned money Obama hasn't taken from me yet but you know he wants to for the ticket to see this movie? No, they probably just attended an advanced screening for free! Did THEY pay for the book this movie is based on that I haven't quite finished yet, or for the ticket to see the previous movie which was just as good as this one mainly because it was pretty much the future version of it, or for the book that movie was based on which I actually haven't opened but I've already seen the movie and who likes reading anyway? No!! Were THEY hired to defend its filmmaker against charges of campaign fraud in front of a federal grand jury? No!!! They've got nothing invested in this movie, so why would they say anything good about it? How can you trust them to be as unbiased as I am?!

If you consider yourself a true-blooded American in the legacy of the European colonialists depicted in this film - vaguely God-fearing men who, with their own two hands, beat the black men and women who built this beautiful nation up from the ashes of the indigenous societies they annihilated, you should be required by law to watch this film. Liberty or Death! God Bless Amercia!… Expand

*CRITICS* .. open your eyes and take a step down from your liberally-biased media talking points !
FACT: The state of America is the worst we have been in under any president in US history, and the media keeps white-washing the facts in*CRITICS* .. open your eyes and take a step down from your liberally-biased media talking points !
FACT: The state of America is the worst we have been in under any president in US history, and the media keeps white-washing the facts in absolute denial that they backed an unskilled radically left politician into the White House for 2 terms.

If you open up your eyes and ears (vs. in denial), you will hear that the "progressive" movement has taken over the democratic party and slanted the facts in 2 of the most populous segments of our nation: our youth (in schools and universities) and our lower classes (whom will take as many handouts this government will give them .. making them dependents addicted to the socialized nation.. negating any form of work ethic in their families for generations to come.. aka welfare nation USA).

This movie goes through an enormous amount of historical research and interviews the unspoken truth at the source. The facts are mostly unknown and not ones you will hear from the biased media/critics, most of which they want to remain hidden.. given that THE TRUTH is what the Media and Critics PAINT as a FALSE REALITY on the NEWS we hear every day (which is why our president has 8 years to demolish our economy and the future patriotism and work ethics.. and associated past prosperity that American's had).

As the movie depicts, capitalism isn't some evil empire, but simply corporate growth occurs ONLY when consumers buy their products. .and given America's highest corporate taxes in the WORLD.. and rising, these economic engines (where we GET Employment!) are being throttles since high taxes on them mean less hiring.. less research.. and incentive to leave America where taxation is lower. The flip side of the coin is higher taxes on the consumer means.. less $ to spend on products and fuel our economy .. (2/3 of the US GDP IS CONSUMER SPENDING !). What Obama.. is doing lacks all logic, unless he has ulterior motives (which is why you need to see the part 1 movie: 2016 : Obama's America).

Simple facts that aren't even in this movie.. : we are now a socialized nation and economy (which is why Europe and other socialized parts of the world have no productivity gains and languish for the past several decades.. handouts with no work requirements give no incentive to install either : work ethics, now patriotism.. both of which are lost in this new generation under Obama. When you make the underclass of society dependent and not proud of their country.. America falls apart (but guarantees an under-educated class that will keep voting democratic to keep getting the handouts.. add to that 50M illegals to dillute our work-force and put $Tr more stress on the healthcare system.. we are about to incur tremendous economic fallout.. but possibly not until after the next election).… Expand

I know what you're thinking. "Wow! This dumb*** doesn't know how to type on a keyboard LOL!" Well, I do. It is just more difficult now that I'm blind. Yes. That's right. I'm blind. This god-forsaken movie was so bad that it made me blind.

You might be thinking about how rough my life is now, but don't you worry! Without my blindness, I wouldn't be able to "accidentally" walk in the girl's locker room without the excuse of "Oh sorry! I'm blind. Oops that's not a door knob! That's your boob!" without getting in trouble.

With that being said...

I enjoyed it and appreciated the historical information and reminder that there have been some of the best books written by those who were there from an outside perspective on just how amazing our countries early history was and unique our country is. This movie makes you really feel proud of our country and recognize you can still today share the rest of what has been omitted in NEW history books to let those around us know America is amazing. It builds this perspective while allowing those who actually HATE America to say what they feel about it in their own words. It is a debate per se with their thoughts and not just a single example they make but many. Followed by an answer to each.
To those that replied to my prior post mentioning Why do you suppose that critics say the film is a terrible movie and rate it as bad while actual viewers the complete opposite those who see it gave it a 90 % approval, you replied to me because they watch fox news.
I wonder if you are saying that your review of any other movie now should have a disclaimer as to say I watch CNN or I like LGBT, or I like Obama. What difference does it make what place you choose to watch news when it comes to a movie to watch.
This is a movie review. If you find yourself unable to watch a movie and give it a open minded review of it as a MOVIE then you have just placed all of your reviews of movies in doubt because I was under the impression that you could give me a movie review as a professional who was bigger than blind bias.
Whatever your perspective realize movies are meant to appeal to some of us more than others. J'est we decide to make our own choices and leave you out of the decision process completely.… Expand

Its a horror film for liberals! Liberals don't argue on truth or facts but on which this film will be hard for them to stand corrected by their errors about history. But it doesn't matter because once somebody is wrong they will find a new excuse and loophole to protest their cause to be right, just as the kid who says I know it was wrong to hit him but he started it first. Two wrongs don't make a right.

It reminds me of how Viet Cong swayed Americans to their side to win the war by ending the fight and made them go against our own troops just as the terrorist is swaying Americans to hate their own country so you can help them win the war because they don't give a dam about blowing you up and murdering your kids and family. Pacifist Americans remind me of a weak betrayer who would go on the side of the enemy to please their Master like the Nazi pacifist in America did to support their cause.

Terrorists don't need to attack America anymore, American libs are doing a fine job at it by being recruited as traders psychologically by Jihad. Every country wants to hate America but play double standards where they desire to have our goods and freedom. Its about jealousy, despising, coveting, and low self esteem against a country who has better. When will you stand up American jellyfish for your country and stop being Benedict Arnolds you yellow belly cowards. Everybody else love their own country except you dimwit and you condone hate to spread like poison to fuel the fire so terrorist can have an excuse to murder us.

Dinesh D’Souza has created a tribute and defense of our nation unique to his perspective as an immigrant, an intellectual, and a sincerely spiritual man. It is common knowledge that our citizens are sharply divided along political and cultural lines. Have you ever wondered why? Is there a group of people who benefit from this polarization and division? Do we have influential people in America who want to tear down America? Who embrace national suicide? Mr. D’Souza interviews many of these people, and you will be shocked by what they say! This movie is scary, funny, inspiring, and thought-provoking.… Expand

There are many lost people in this country (USA) that believe many bad things about America. This film explores all of these issues and sets the record straight. As a documentary, it does cover in detail both sides, but in the end it is more shaded to one side.

Typically, the pathetic liberal critics who love everything Michael "fat useless liberal uneducated lying scumbag" Moore does, but seem to hate this movie. I will say it, they are killing this because they are liberal and it kills many liberal ideals.

Do not listen to the critics. Go see this movie. This movie does not cover up the bad things we have done in our history. This movie tells us why we are uniquely American. There is not nearly enough about how the media is covering for the demoncrats, but maybe that is for another book and movie. It is high time kids and people hear the truth and the positive side of our history.

I normally do not like to cover plot points or storylines, but one of the things that is a dark side of our history covered in the movie is slavery. While slavery is denounced in the movie as it should, it does remind us the United States is the first and only country to fight a civil war in order to stop slavery. You won't hear that anywhere in the liberal media world.

Example after example, this movie shows us that there is a lot of good about America even out of bad situations. We see some of the players who have shaped not only our education and way of life, but how this came about. This film reminds us that we the people are the ones that can stop all the evil things the demoncrats are doing today.

We must all go out and support this movie as a point to Obama and Pelosi and Reid and the entire liberal mass media and democratic party that the people are smart and willing to rise up against this anti American movement we are experiencing today.

This is not a big budget affair so my expectations were not sky high. I was however pleasantly surprised by the overall presentation. I agree with many of the professional critics that seem a little confused as to why he begins the film with the premise of General Washington being killed by a sniper and I expected a documentary about the world without America. Of course the film moves away form that premise and towards a general discussion of the "indictments against America" and a soft rebuttal to them. So that abrupt change in direction was a bit awkward. That aside, this was a very fair representation of two schools of thought about America and her place in the world. Clearly D'Souza has conservative leaning personal beliefs and this film makes no effort to hide that. it can and should be noted that, neither did Michael Moore with any of his popular documentary features. Unlike Mr. Moore, D'Souza is mostly respectful towards those with opposing viewpoints. The movie is not an all out assault on the left but rather an gentle nudge towards the idea that America is not nearly as bad as some on the left insist. The film will touch on sensitive subject matter, but I believe handles it in a professional and respectful way. Mr D'Souza opens the narrative with the calm statement that "I Love America". Make no mistake that he shows a bit of patriotic pride towards the end of the film. Whether you are a dyed in the wool lefty or a hard line righty or somewhere in between... This is a good movie to watch and think about. Put aside you angry politics and soak in the idea that America has been both a shining beacon on the hill and the occasional oppressor. But in the end, America has worked to right her wrongs and help others achieve the better opportunity we have enjoyed. Perhaps we are not as bad as some say we are.… Expand

It is both brave and tragic; brave of D’Souza to shine a light on so much truth that is now considered politically incorrect, yet tragic that so few news or educational sources report on these truths. Also whether or not it was intentional, Metacritic has done us all a great favor in segregating critics from the rest of us. Especially for a politically charged film like this, the Metacritic format exposes mainstream media so-called “critics” for what their true liberal bias shows they are.

I find it ironic that critics are accusing D'Souza of making straw-man arguments and withholding key facts or arguments in the discussion of slavery, capitalism, etc. D'Souza does nothing of the sort. He very fairly states the general accusations of those on the left who accuse the US of illegitimacy because of slavery, capitalism, imperialism, etc. He pokes holes in arguments made by well-known professors and political commentators on the left (Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, etc.) and fills in critical details intentionally left out to support an "America is evil and needs to be re-made" conclusion. This is definitely NOT an instance where D'Souza parades up a bunch of light-weights making specious arguments. I find it laughable, but sadly not surprising, that several very left-leaning critics gave America a "0" out of 100. I note that these same critics thought some hatchet-job documentary on the Koch brothers (I know - even the mere mention of their names should cause all acceptably left-leaning citizens to convulse in anger) was "passionate" but "fair" and not "vituperative." They even gave Transformers close to a score of 40. It's obvious that these critics measure the worth of a documentary not on its truth or accessibility but on its political message. Ultimately, it appears a "good" documentary starts with a conclusion they support, e.g. "corporations and Christians are bad and big-government atheist liberals are good", and then selectively back-fit data to support this conclusion. Oh, and if you can sufficiently rabble-rouse and inspire people to rise up against "the man", that makes the documentary even better. Since America is a fair and compelling argument in defense of the "idea" of America (quoting Bono from US in the movie) - that of liberty, free enterprise, and entrepreneurship - this does not sit well with several of the critics who give the movie a score of 0. This is dishonest but sadly expected. Go see this movie and bring your kids. You'll be glad you did.… Expand

So very glad I did. While one could nit-pick at a lack of big name actors and re-enactments that are a little shy of 100 million blockbusters, that would only emphasize that you've missed the point of this documentary. The message, story, and heart of this movie were spot on. A fantastic execution of both education and uplifting inspiration. Seems like we've been promised hope for a long time now... finally, someone delivered.

Whether you're a native-born American, or an immigrant like myself, you should definitely seen this movie. It will reinvigorate your faith in country, or at very least, help open your mind to the possibility of a better tomorrow.… Expand

This movie will elicit humor, emotion, pride and history withinMy Husband and I took 22 friends and family members to see this movie on the 4th of July. The collective quality of this movie was indeed a surprise and I’m so glad we saw it. This movie will elicit humor, emotion, pride and history within the historical context. This is one of those movies that won’t hit you fully until the next day. My Husband purchased the book and told me how great it was. I will be reading the book this week and want to see the movie again this weekend. As being from a large Hispanic family where our family Patriarch and Matriarch immigrated lawfully settling the family in Kansas City in the 50’s, I would recommend this movie my fellow Hispanic citizens and to all Americans including children 9 years or older. A breath of fresh air from the movie industry and the producers of this film took extraordinary steps to make this not a movie but an event. Thank you so much……… Expand

If you combine the Movie America with the ratings on this site it helps to explain the real political divide in this country.

The leftist so called elitist who run most of the main stream media cannot stand any view point that goes against them so they slam it without merit often. The movie overall was very interesting and well done and I encourage everyone regardless of political party affiliation to watch it with an open mind. Forget what the so called critics think and listen to the people.… Expand

Unfortunately, I fully expect that the majority of critics out there (because the majority are out spoken liberals) will be viciously harsh and overly critical whether overtly or subtly about this movie.

I can see all the reviews like this one saying things like its racist, xenophobic, jingoistic, idiotic, or just plain hateful. So if someone is interested in watching I just hope they know the ideology of most of the media's critics out there.… Expand

Let's be honest for a minute: This movie is good, but not awesome. But the great thing about this film is it's truth and a lack of lies, crudeness and vulgarity, all of which, apparently, must be present for modern movie critics to hold a film in high regard. Take yourself and your family to see a film that puts our country's and its sins (...and its great accomplishments) in perspective. America (the country) is exceptional, not because we're "better" than other people, rather we're exceptional because have largely been an exception to the typical tyranny that most people in history have had to live under. Critics apparently cannot comprehend this notion, so go see this decent film and pray that we can remain a nation of freedom (a true exception in the world).… Expand

The wide disparity between professional and public ratings of 'America' suggests that newspaper critics have goose-stepped sharply to the left in order to keep their jobs with their increasingly left-tilting employers. Bottom line, you'llThe wide disparity between professional and public ratings of 'America' suggests that newspaper critics have goose-stepped sharply to the left in order to keep their jobs with their increasingly left-tilting employers. Bottom line, you'll hate 'America' if you're one of the bozos who think Obama is doing a great job. However, if you side with most Americans, who in a recent poll said they regarded Obama as the worst president of the last century (a charitable assessment, by the way, since Obama is easily the worst presdient U.S. history), then you'll hate this film. Putting aside their churish and untoward comments, some of which are flat-out wrong, the film is not great, but it's not bad either. If it fails to persuade, it is only because the pro-Obama arguments it poses are too numerous and well-drawn to rebut in a two-hour film.… Expand
