Genuine honest review: Jon Stewart is always going to deliver a harsh reality. An entertaining film with enough giggles in. A lovely cast of very fine actors. Well written and well directed.
This was always going to be a left leaning film until you then realise it isn't. Hard for either side of the stale debate to shout unfair.
I enjoyed the ride but felt like I could have done with more of a rollercoaster. I felt it remained a little safe. It didn't spoil the film but prevented a higher rating.
The final act was an interesting take on the story. You could call it a twist. And the message did hit home. But I am sick to death of knowing this message and yet still NOTHING gets done to fix things. But back to the film...
This is an enjoyable film with laughs and a serious message. Worth watching just for the scene near the end where the cake is eaten on the bed. Made me laugh. I recommend this film. I recommend it to the LEFT and the RIGHT. To people who still Want to care...
Fmovies: Thank you Jon Stewart!!! Wonderful insight and laughs 8))
What a timely movie to bring people together & show them who the real bad guy is, the rotten system that has been driving people so far apart & making their differences so irreconcilable that they can't even come together in times like these & the people who down voted this movie with out even watching because they "feel" that this movie attacks them is a testament to how deep this schism has creeped into the hearts & minds of the people. It's a lovely little movie, do watch it.
Irresistible fmovies. Enjoyable, fun, feel good film. Full of Quirky fun small town characters. Well crafted. So refreshing to see a film about politics that takes no left or right Political side. Thank you!
From a political perspective and as a left wing observer, I loved this movie. It perfectly encapsulates, in my opinion, how the Democrats and Republicans are out of touch with the people they serve but also don't actually care about helping them, as Diana Hastings (Mackenzie Davis) points out at the end. It's all just a show, like shadows dancing on a wall (thanks for the allegory Plato).
From a non political perspective and just as guy with nothing better do on a Friday evening, the movie is definitely worth a watch. I had a good laugh watching it and the way Steve Carell and Rose Byrn's characters interact with the townsfolk, the environment and each other goes from ridiculous to cringy a few times (not that I expect anything better from a bunch of career politicians from DC). The media, whether left or right, are well used to comedic effect as well.
Wonderful film that pokes at both sides of the America political system while properly skewering the real problems with the election system in our country. Mackenzie Davis and Chris Cooper are perfect; Rose Byrne is sharp in her role as lead antagonist, and Carrell embodies the misguided persona of opportunistic politics.
