This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

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.

This is a great documentary. The losers who claim it is an antidote or a wannabe of Farenheit 911 do not realize this film was started years before Michael Moore ever squatted to crap out his latest propaganda. It surprises me there are so many fools out there that truly do hate America and what makes America great. They will not love this country until it becomes another Eurotrash country of Socialism and no morals.Most of us who live in flyover areas of this country do love America and realize that Capitalism works for everyone except low life leeches.Most of you should know this documentary is worth seeing and will be enjoyed by everyone except the most Liberal "commies".

Obviously this film was made to counter the negative criticism of Michael Moore's films and any sort of criticism of America. Ideally, a documentary about America should be balanced. It should talk about the positive aspects as well as the negative aspects, but these days, everyone is polarized either to the positive or the negative, depending on which political team you're rooting for this election year. Go team go!Personally, I find this film to be nothing more than a recruiting film for cheap foreign labor to enter the USA, legally or not, as well as a reminder that you shouldn't question America's actions, no matter what it does. What about the other free countries out there? Canada allows gay marriage, The UK has lower driving ages, lower alcohol consumption ages, and lower legal sex ages. The Netherlands permit limited marijuana use. Those countries have more freedom than the United States. Just because America pioneered democracy doesn't mean it's the best at embracing it. Just because America has the most money, doesn't mean it's the most loveable country. When taking this into account, all the flag waving means nothing more than rooting for your home team. As an American, having no patriotism means stating that America and all its inhabitants are a negative aspect in this world, and leaving it vulneraable to enemy attack. Michael Moore and other American liberals, although critical, don't go this far, but the blindly patriotic assume so because they can't stand any criticism of their home team. Being blindly patriotic means to love America no matter what it does. If America did something evil, the most patriotic citizens would cling to it as the right thing to do. This is dangerous. The Nazis were patriotic to their country in the 1930s. Plus, the inability to criticize means never improving, even if other nations surpass you over time, which is precisely what happened to America. Now other countries are advancing faster than us because the cowboys are still riding the same dead horses.People should be equally critical as they are patriotic, and as patriotic as they are critical. Without balance, there is fanaticism. This film encourages fanaticism.3/10

In a world that seems so cynical, so jaded, this film shows why America is and has been different than any other country in the world. The film doesn't need chase scenes, it doesn't need sex, it doesn't need to probe the pores on a man's skin to try to find the flaws. What it should do, is to help us remember that this is the ONE AND ONLY country in which you can follow your dreams, whatever, they may be and you have a chance, a good chance, to fulfill them. Some reviewers want to see the warts. Why? Obsticles are what get in the way when you take your eye off the goal. Michael Moore films are what you get when you hate your own country, all the people in it and are only capable of telling half-truths. Quit whining, quit asking others to do everything for you, get some of that old fashioned American guts and optimism. Get off the couch and follow your dreams, you can do that. Europeans (and others) can't.
