Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
jderrille This is a must-see for every American patriot who is flag-waving, Statue of Liberty hugging, and apple-pie eating! It's truly one of the most inspirational slices of American life in film ever produced. Appropriate for every person aged 9 months to 99. You will appreciate the stores from sea to shining sea -- from a blues-maker to an Olympic athlete...coal miner to dairy cow farmer...from a Methodist minister to a Jewish clarinetist. It's a beautiful tapestry of races and faces from blue collar to white collar and every color in between. Stunning color cinematography, inspirational musical score, perfectly paced with stories that will touch your heart and soul.
wdew23 How full of hate and despise one must be to interject politics into this movie. This film displays true accounts of American individuality from very different points of view. This is the most free society on earth! Those who continuously wish for socialism and government restrictions on everything including corporations, please find a friendly European country to take you in. This is a refreshing look at Americans for Americans. I saw nothing about Democrats or Republicans, only Americans. I guess it is true that some political affiliations do hate America. Just sit back and watch real people. It seems that a positive attitude toward anything American seems evil or corrupt. I for one believe America is still great. See this film!
richietozier-1 It was pathetic seeing a movie that makes me sick to be an American....The HATE OF America came through LOUD and CLEAR.It covered a biased cross section of American experiences.It was not worth seeing.You will leave the theater with a terrible ache in your heart.It is the politically correct wannabe of Fahrenheit 9-11.My friends hated it.Another Disney piece of crap.You will want to burn it again and again.The 20 or so stories projectile vomit across our great land....
mcwagoner_1999 In a world that seems so cynical, so jaded, this film shows why America is and has been different than any other country in the world. The film doesn't need chase scenes, it doesn't need sex, it doesn't need to probe the pores on a man's skin to try to find the flaws. What it should do, is to help us remember that this is the ONE AND ONLY country in which you can follow your dreams, whatever, they may be and you have a chance, a good chance, to fulfill them. Some reviewers want to see the warts. Why? Obsticles are what get in the way when you take your eye off the goal. Michael Moore films are what you get when you hate your own country, all the people in it and are only capable of telling half-truths. Quit whining, quit asking others to do everything for you, get some of that old fashioned American guts and optimism. Get off the couch and follow your dreams, you can do that. Europeans (and others) can't.
