Film ThreatMerle Bertrand
Both Democrats and Republicans take it on the chin here, although the left-leaning bias is obvious. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Crust
Highly entertaining and thought-provoking, but also frustrating -- which, ultimately, might be the point. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
The sequence in which the crew acquires press credentials to the Republican National Convention by helping organizers desperate to book a rock band (they deliver Leitch's scruffy pals the Interpreters USSA) is priceless. Read full review
