While this documentary is quite interesting and revealing, it does sort of jump around a bit and lacks clarity and bullseye blame on some of Rove's nefarious deeds.
What is most bizarre is they abandon the flow for awhile to concentrate on one soldier's fate in Iraq. In the wake of the administration's misleading information, I'm sure they wanted us to feel the sting of loss of a real person as opposed to just "another soldier dead"... but why just this one "random" fellow? At first, I thought it may have been one of Rove's relatives or something. But it wasn't. It suddenly felt like someone changed the channel to another documentary.
Having said that though, this is definitely worth seeing as the election looms.

I always wanted to see this movie because I thought it was the best idea for one. I expected some great mixture of philosophy and humor. I was hoping for some sort of Woody Allen goes to dinner with Jesus flick and battles out the meaning of life or relgion or whatever in a unique funny clever way.
What I got was one of the biggest beatings of my life. Andre was just the sort of dimestore philosopher that I dread hearing at the table behind me; laughing at himself; thinking people would be shocked by his ribald experiences eliciting courtesy smiles. For Andre, it was a one-way me-fest conversation of generic find-yourself crap (meditating/India/the "beehive") that made me want to just pull out a revolver and smack a bullet through my brain pan.
I'm sorry, but after the first 45 minutes, it was either suicide or turning the thing off. I'm still alive... thus I did a rare thing and didn't finish a flick (I only have done that to "ARMAGEDDON" so far).
Fortunately I had the genius "CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS" as a back up that night; followed by "Inherit the wind".
