Wonderful character development!

Very well executed

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I was skeptical when I watched this so many years ago. When the IRS scandal with them admitting they were targeting conservatives came to light, and the first time thousands of Lois Learner's( head of IRS)emails somehow were lost, I started believing. Now knowing what has been done, and how corrupt the IRS has become under Obama, although the corruption probably started with Clinton, and was not challenged by Bush, is amazing. 30,000 more lost emails, and 50,000 texts lost by the FBI has brought me back to re-watching this very insightful movie.

The main charge here, though slickly presented, is that Obama is an anti-Colonialist. Given that so were America's founding fathers, this is a rather remarkable complaint, one that D'Souza seeks to portray as a vice rather than virtue ... but the film never bothers to point out that its creator is an apologist for Colonialism (he actually thinks it's a good thing), a political shill for the conservative end of the GOP, and an active, long-time opponent of the Democratic Party. This was meant to be a scare tactic using marketing 'spin' masked as 'analysis' to defeat Obama's re-election -- clearly, it failed miserably at that -- and its dire arguments were undermined by they events actually unfolded during Obama's second term. This is at best a highly partisan critique and at worst political propaganda ... but it certainly isn't an objective documentary. To call this a documentary is to insult real documentarians such as Ken Burns and a whole range of honest indie filmmakers.

I am a Conservative/Libertarian. That's my "bias". But I liked the film. If you are a Democrat, and don't want to "hear a different side" then you won't like it. If you're in the middle somewhere, maybe you will get something from the movie.Very likely, no Democrats go to see these movies, because they think it's 100% lies (which is not accurate).Very likely, the bulk of attendees are Conservatives. This is how the money is made back, if possible.The trick is what Independents think, and whether or not they do their own research on the subjects. Democrats have already put heads in the sand, and Republicans are already on board.

My wife and I went to watch the film prior to Obama's re-election. We literally had the last two seats in the theater, for the last show of the day, they were selling out so quickly. It's a shame more people didn't watch the film and really think about the message.One must put the film in context. At the time D'Souza made his film, a great many people were still arguing about whether or not Obama was actually born in the USA, if he was actually eligible to become President in the first place, much less for a second term, and those who questioned Obama were immediately attacked and labeled by the Democrat machine as racists.D'Souza avoided the so-called "Birther" argument and instead took a unique tack: by closely analyzing Obama's admitted history--taken from his own memoir--and retracing his steps, D'Souza wanted to interview those who personally knew Obama and his family and reveal who the people were that were his influences, in order to then determine what his real world-view was.It is true that the introduction seemed long, but there is good reason for this; to counter the inevitable accusation of "racist", D'Souza spelled out how much he had in common with Obama, and how, initially, he was intrigued by him. But how that intrigue had given way to suspicion and then alarm by what he had written about himself (if you believe he actually wrote is own memoir) and what he said he intended to do.By the time he actually retraces Obama's steps an influences, the argument is well made; Obama's world view was formed by his expatriot mother, whose virulent anti-American beliefs were core to her divorce from her "second" husband, Soetero, as well as those of his estranged "biological father", Barack Obama senior. Obama was steeped in anti-colonial revolutionary philosophy, surrounded by well known Marxists who influenced Obama for decades, closely, and personally.D'Souza backs up every step of his argument, allowing close associates, friends and even family to explain both Obama Sr and Jr. And the conclusion about Obama's intentions are then both shocking and quite believable.The fact is, that more than 2 years after I saw the film, real historical events appear to have confirmed Obama's intentions. From Fast and Furious to Benghazi, arming of Islamists in Libya and Syria, the treatment of the Fort Hood shooter to his clear preference for Muslim "revolutionaries", his constant use of class envy and race tensions to divide the nation, and his attempts to weaken US influence and "lead from behind" around the world, all validate Obama's perverse views of the USA and his desire to weaken her.Most recently, his actions regarding the flood of illegal immigrants seems to yet again demonstrate that Obama will do ANYTHING to "fundamentally transform" the USA and knock her down several pegs.Considering what a great country this once was, and how deeply troubled it now appears to be under his "rule" - rather than governance - leaves us wondering why this has been tolerated, and if the nation will ever recover from this betrayal from within.
