Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

rockymtnhi-2 We are so tired of all the biting rhetoric about "what is wrong about America" - Inane comments like, "No Wonder Terrorists Hate us!". We are tired of movies that stopped trying to say "anything good" about America anymore... Louis Swartzberg seemed to have captured some of our resilient SPIRIT, perhaps chapter ONE in more good things to come from him. There is so much diversity, talent and brave souls who challenge everyday life when sometimes it's more than enough to just "get up out of bed" let alone, conquer Mount Everest when you are "blind". The music, ( we turned on our Surround Sound) the Cinematography that was out of this World, offered us one of the best nights on TV - and it was further unspoiled by Commercials!! Bravo Disney - thank you, thank you!

tigger_68 This is a visually stunning and emotionally moving tribute to the everyday people that make America great. Unlike those films that live to tell us how horrible things are, this one shows the faith, love and determination that make this nation.While some chose to focus on celebrity, this shows everyday people. From a farmer and his son in Vermont to a father and his disabled son who run the Boston Marathon, it is a heartwarming view of good and decent people.The cinematography is breathtaking and the director made the wonderful choice to not have a narrator, referring to allow the people to tell their own stories.I've noticed many find this to be bad because they see it as somehow patriotic (I guess for some people that is a bad thing). Many also blast it for being a pro-Bush or post 9/11 rally film.Perhaps they failed to listen to the audio commentary by the filmmaker who points out that most of this was filmed BEFORE 9/11. Indeed he has been working on it for 20 years, so a good portion of it was made during the CLINTON years. Perhaps it's OK if it supports him ?Nor do they take into account the fact that, from what I've been able to find out on the net, the filmmaker is actually a Democrat who did not support Bush in 2004.I won't go into the debate over diversity in the film since many have already pointed out that the film is quite diverse.I think this film taps into the real divide in America today. Most people in the United States love this country, regardless of whether they are liberal or conservative. They may dislike policies or leaders, but they love the country.A small group simply hates America. To they all is bad, nothing is good, and any optimism or positive thought is wrong.That angry elite may find this beneath their standards, but for most of us it is a wonderful 90 minutes.

T Y A bunch of archtypal moments enlivened by hopelessly square and outdated bromides. No amount of personal interest stories can reverse the damage being done to the U.S. by Bush and the hopeless greed of late capitalism.. America the place where you can't afford health care, and corporate a**holes are shaking you down on every front? The land where conservatives despise the constitution? The land in which racial tension has played out for two hundred and thirty years? The land where douchebags like Rush Limbaugh, President Bush and Bill O'Reilly have trained you to despise anyone who thinks, and have helped partisan conflict rage. None of that exists.One guy here talks about diversity, which is a sick racist joke because black people are almost absent in the film. This is of course because when you think of classic cornball Americana moments (which blank the minds of middle class white people) none of the participants are black. Cowboys? nope! Folk groups? nope! Hay rides? nope! Mountain climbing? nope! Black people should just be happy that white people can strive and achieve things, and sit quietly as they're excluded again.Don't question the countries slide into the crapper - The president needs all the thoughtless supporters he can get. This is the Ex-Lax of non-fiction film.
