      Rob Nelson Variety Even at 73 minutes, the film is, well, too damn long. Aug 12, 2011 Full Review Matt Singer IFC.com As a cautionary tale about too much too soon, Damn! works reasonably well. Rated: B- Aug 12, 2011 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News The movie is padded with repetitive media appearances, fan videos, and the ramblings of a subject who may not have a firm grasp on reality. Aug 12, 2011 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International One more viral Internet sensation-read: basic fool-given the documentary spotlight by a subject-starved Aug 31, 2011 Full Review Prairie Miller NewsBlaze A telling glimpse into the future that yes, grassroots candidates with no money can aim big via the new power of the Internet, and renewed hope for basic human rights that have devolved into pipe dreams. Or in other words, better luck next time, Jimmy. Aug 2, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Damn! is a documentary and portrait of a very thoughtful and creative man who has the enthusiasm of a champion. A karate champion. Jimmy McMillan of The Rent Is Too Damn High! party is a one-man platform running off the rails of pop culture into the race to become Governor of NYC. Kudos to the group who were able to put this documentary together in a cohesive manner. Just like Obama and Palin have used pop culture to bump up their campaigns, Jimmy had his own message to share with the World as well and it was a fairly simple one, "The Rent Is Too Damn High!". The movie focuses on the days before and after the election--from the rise and the fall, to the obscure and forgotten; you can't help but laugh, get crazy with Jimmy-fever, and then feel sad about his anti-climactic loss and trip into wild obscurity. It's becomes uncomfortable as Jimmy becomes but a blip on New York and society's pop-culture radar merely days after his loss. It becomes uncomfortable when you realize that Jimmy wants the shine on the polish to last forever: you look into his mirror and you feel his icon fever. For Jimmy; this is all just the beginning.
