IMDb says the estimated budget was $2.5 mill. with gross of $33 mill. Movies would love to have that ratio!
Stupid!?! I never called you stupid! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people!
D'Souza is the biggest nerd on earth!

His goal was to scare people into not voting for Obama. The ugly mega nerd D'Souza probably drove voters to Obama with his hate fest!
shareYES, there was a Anti-Obama lean to this, but in way MUCH more center thinking than I expected.
There were obvious attempts to attack the morality of Obama, most notably when he interviewed a half-brother in Africa. Overall, though, he merely pointed out accurate & noteworthy historical facts that Obama (himself) claims to have drawn a basis of his beliefs. The conjecture and predictions in the end do get rather silly and overall degrade the movie's credibility somewhat.
If you watch the movie already with a dislike of Obama... this will feed your fire. If you watch the movie liking Obama it is possible you might appreciate him more.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS MOVIE IS.... it's boring. The sad part is a big reason it's boring is just basic AV stuff. The Narrator speech is unclear at times and the narration audio quality is tinny and echoy. VERY few graphic and a non-existent soundtrack lead to many scenes filled with the narrators touristic follies as he "traces Obama's past."
If the vast right wing had a talented propaganda movie maker like Michael Moore on it's payroll or political system could get REALLY ugly (if you didn't already think people were divisive). If someone juiced this up Moore-esque "massaged" facts and snappy editing I think this could have made more of an impact on the election.
I'm not quite sure if that would have been a good or bad thing.
It would have been a good thing.
But, the last thing America needs is its Propaganda Ministry.
