Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is an excellent film that shows how easy it is to stifle dissenting voices in times where passion overshadows rational thought. This was a bit scary to watch and those who lived through the McCarthy era will find an uncomfortable chill run down their spines.I had never listened to country music or the Dixie Chicks but I must admit I found myself admiring their courage. This is a vivid reminder that the laws of our great land have are put into place to protect dissenting and minority opinions from the overwhelming burden of the beliefs of the popular majority.As the Bush Administration draws to a close the Dixie Chicks comments will become a small footnote in the pages of only the most detailed history books. I find it odd how those who profess the greatest love for this country find it so easy to hate those who exercise its most valued principles. In my book the Dixie Chicks are about everything that makes this country special.

This is a really wonderful documentary/commentary. After seeing the band perform live in Nashville (I flew down from the Pacific Northwest to be supportive), I bought the DVD of Shut Up and Sing, sight unseen, and was not at all disappointed.Before I even watched this movie, before I even attended their Nashville performance in 2006, I was chastised by a lady one day for daring to wear a DCX concert t-shirt. That was the day I found out about the bold statement Natalie had made in 2003 that started all the turmoil. It is amazing that simply wearing a t-shirt put me in such an awkward position with someone. I had no idea that wearing the t-shirt was making a political statement. Hey, I like their music and I'd like them to stay in business.To anyone who feels anti-DCX, I doubt we could be friends. LOL.

I just watched the movie last night and felt really uplifted about the way these gals handled the whole situation, from start to finish. I loved the ending when they went back to the "scene of the crime". The Brits just loved it too.I have never listened to the Dixie Chick's music and knew nothing about them other than the controversy. They are truly role models in a way that so many music stars aren't. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the various family members and sharing in the birth of the twins. They are all so wonderfully grounded. I enjoyed their music and will definitely be buying a CD or two soon. Also, if I'm fortunate enough to catch a concert when they're next in Canada (Ottawa, not Moose Jaw!), I'll be a happy camper.

The old first amendment doesn't mean much to a lot of Americans, it seems. Hard to believe that a country that has seen thousands of its young people needlessly killed by war, suddenly turn on a band because of a few misplaced words. I think the greatest thing about this movie is that it has negatively immortalized the "Proud Americans" who had such unkind words for the Dixie Chicks. In a world that is marred by terror, isn't it rewarding that we have such a talented group of women who offer us hope? This movie makes a statement. I hope the American people hear it. I live in Canada, which offered the Dixie Chicks our biggest welcome, from coast to coast. I saw the band in my city and have never witnessed the level of appreciation by a concert audience that I experienced that night. America should be very proud to be the home of the Dixie Chicks!
