Hank Stuever Washington Post 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. Dec 31, 2020 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Whether it is a pop band or the cast of a television show, these things shine a little light in a dark times, giving hope that our own atomized gangs may unite once more. Dec 31, 2020 Full Review Patrick Gomez AV Club 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. Rated: A- Dec 31, 2020 Full Review Mandie Caroll Common Sense Media 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. Rated: 3/5 Apr 28, 2021 Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast 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. Dec 31, 2020 Full Review Joel Keller Decider 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.

nicole h more powerful than the original. Sheen and Schiff steal the show with their chess game. Played it differently from the original and it worked perfectly, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review luke g Brilliant. One of the greatest ensembles of actors gather once again to educate prospective voters. Aaron Sorkin does it again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
