film to be shown. I have seen better productions from middle school kids or even YouTube. What is there motive for doing it? I am totally lost in the movie. I feel seasick. They had to have known. Didn't they test it with all the conservatives. Leaving the politics out of it, it is a piece of crap, not worth the air time really.

7. You know, you give me confidence about the elections. |

If that is the best they can do, the elections ought to be a piece of cake.

5. Don't worry about kids watching it because it's a SNORE-FEST |
|
It's so bad but not quirky enough to reach "amusing" on a cult classic level.
Just one long, slow train wreck in monotone. :P
They wanted to snag Chuck Norris for a lead role in "The Path to 9/11" but determined his acting to be "far too animated" based on his performances in the previous "Texas Ranger" series. :rofl:

It sounds like that $40 million didn't go to production values. I'm not watching it so I can't say for certain. But that view seems to be shared even by those in freeperland. So where did it go? ABC is airing this thing without commercials. I think what we're seeing here is quite possibly the world's most expensive political ad. And if that's true, then ABC is guilty of breaking so many laws I can't even count. They should have their broadcast license revoked for this.

or some other type of strong arm persuasion.....the illegal wiretapping maybe?
no commercials....someone with a lot of Repug money paid for this.....the unedited version was sent throughout the world....the only saving grace about that is the world is not so easily fooled by a piece of poorly made shit movie.....

10. Even the Freepers can't bear to watch. |
|
And even they think the jarring, shaking camera and silly camera cuts are migraine-inducing.
Makes all those positive reviews of this tripe look *very* suspect. Chicago Sun-Times was right for giving it zero stars. High school film production students could have put together a more professional movie.
