Joe Neumaier New York Daily News Director Glenn Silber's look at how window washers, public employees, janitors and other working men and women played a role in 2008's political events is heartening, and yet, a year after being filmed, unintentionally aggravating. Oct 30, 2009 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times Rather than capturing the profound excitement so many people felt during the 2008 campaign, it just seems to be patting itself on the back. Rated: 2/5 Oct 30, 2009 Full Review Aaron Hillis Time Out The film never finds drama, focus or any greater purpose other than some dubious horn-blowing about the SEIU being singularly responsible for electing President Obama. Rated: 1/5 Oct 28, 2009 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com There's only so much rah-rah-sis-boom-ba you can take about a President elected on the premise of ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, who has merely followed in his predecessor's footsteps of starving the U.S. into dirt. Rated: D Nov 11, 2009 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Mildly engaging, but lacks sufficient insight, intrigue and provocativeness to rise above the kind of footage you'd typically find in an infomercial or, worse, in propaganda. Rated: 5.0/10 Oct 31, 2009 Full Review Matthew Nestel Boxoffice Magazine . No opinion seems to stray from the talking points. Everybody's giddy to stump. Everyday. This makes the film feel padded and rinsed. Is the director solely trying to please his subjects? Rated: 2/5 Oct 30, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
