Hank Stuever Washington Post Dec 31, 2020
The best parts are the interstitial breaks, taking up an additional 20 minutes, which feature Sorkinesque banter between cast members in the form of get-out-the-vote messages. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Dec 31, 2020

West Wing fans will be comforted to know that while some of them may have more gray hair and age lines, they all effortlessly step back into their roles as if it were 18 years ago. Go to Full Review Mandie Caroll Common Sense Media Apr 28, 2021

This cast reunion special from the acclaimed political series of the early 00s is a well-constructed and charmingly earnest effort at inspiring viewers to vote. Go to Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast Dec 31, 2020
The debate will rage about whether that blanket is something that anyone wants or needs-or even could possibly exist-right now. But for an hour, at least, it was nice to cozy up with. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Dec 31, 2020
If you're a West Wing fan, you'll love this special. If you're not, you won't even go find this on HBO Max. And that's what makes us wonder about if the special's message will actually land with the people with whom they're trying to communicate. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 May 28, 2025 Based on a true story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Jan 30, 2021 For those of us that loved the series it is fantastic. It was a little bit preachy and assumed that American Elections are perfect and we've seen that while they are great there are some problems. However, the film itself was Fantastic See more Nov 14, 2020 Enjoyed the nostalgia. The performances were impeccable as was the staging and camera work. It also addressed a lot of common misconceptions with voting. Recommend! See more Oct 20, 2020 Perfectly made. Like a time capsule from 15 years ago. Well executed. One of the best hour of TV I have seen this year. Oh and inspiring as well, thank you for the strong support for voting. Rob Lowe still looks just as young. See more Oct 17, 2020 an absolute joy. though i admit i'm a fanboy of the original source material, seeing this re-enacted by these incredibly talented thespians on stage was a marvel to behold. The dialogue didn't feel dated at all and the characters were smart, sympathetic, and expertly acted. A romanticized vision of what politics could be. perhaps one day. See more Read all reviews
