Saw it yesterday. Happy to say it was playing in the largest seating capacity theater at the Regal 10 in liberal Bethesda Merryland. We did the 4:15pm and it was maybe 25% filled, but if it’s in that theater it must be getting big evening crowds.
I was however disappointed that I learned relatively nothing new. Additionally, since his father had very little influence over the Marxist 0bama I don’t know why so much time was spent on him. Conversely I think more time should have been spent on 0bama’s direct communist influences like Franklin Marshall Davis , his grandfather and the rest. I don’t think he defended himself when Jake Tapper called he work “unscholarly” at all.
For me a C+ because I’m a political junky and heard/read it all before. For the casual non political A-.
I had the opposite take: d'Souza was taking advantage of a psychological ploy that the libs have used for decades.
That is, if you talk to someone authoritatively about a topic, and they havent' been exposed to it before, you *become* the voice of reason and clarity.
The film had a solid hour of biographical facts presented as a documentary where the audience is discovering along with d'Souza, so they are predisposed to take his side.
Then the film shows a brief montage / vignette of the talking heads discussing among themselves how they don't know anything of Obama's world view, followed by the obligatory name-calling towards d'Souza.
It showed them up as frauds and bullies, trying desperately to pin *some* code-word label on d'Souza because they were not informed enough to challenge him on the facts.
Using their own "strength" against them.
Cheers!
