The film is very worthwhile for any American who cares about the nation's core values and history, and who is concerned about the threats to its continuity imposed by the current regime in Washington. It rebuts the standard leftist misinterpretations of American history, which readily explains why this op-ed writer is so teed off.
There are interesting techniques used to get the messages across, including re-enactments of historical events, with actors doing good jobs in portraying important historic figures, both heroes and villains. There are interviews with currently prominent individuals, both right and left, with Dinesh D'Souza himself doing some of them, plus archived film footage of some major leftists of the recent past.
When I saw it last week, there were only cheers from the audience when the film ended, and absolutely no booing nor heckling nor other open signs of discontent, although I'd have to admit that the crowd was kind of sparse on a weekday afternoon.
To all FReepers and other friends: please make it a point to see "America" if you haven't already done so. You won't be disappointed. (Full disclosure: I have no financial interest in the film.)
Thanks justiceseeker93.
I’ve also seen “critics” give great conservative movies a poor rating. Sad.
I am scheduled for a day off on Thursday, plan on going to a matinee
Thanks for sharing your insights, dear justiceseeker93!
Thanks for the ping.
FYI: I was explaining to my wife yesterday about the COSCO (book) issue and D’Souza meeting with the CEO.

I have the book. I don’t go to any movies anymore.
