      Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid It plays more like an industrial video shown to businessmen in boardrooms, without a shred of personality. Jul 31, 2008 Full Review Ross Anthony Hollywood Report Card Clocks in several minutes short of a feature. A wise decision, the pattern was on the verge of repetition. Overall, interesting & worthwhile, but not a must see. Rated: 2/4 Jul 16, 2008 Full Review Kam Williams NewsBlaze Part personal odyssey, part diplomatic mission, this bio-pic reveals a sensitive side of the Illinois Senator while simultaneously establishing him as an international figure sincerely concerned about the host of woes presently plaguing Africa.

      Audience Member Good to see. Still what interest me is how politics works. Here is a man who knows and sees what should be done and once elected president "nothing" (almost nothing) happens. Can't wait to read Obama's After Presidency book and I truly hope he will write what happens in Washington. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member obama goes back to africa!!!!lol Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I finally got around to watching this. It's good, and makes me wonder...was he planning on running for President as this trip was being taped? Hmmm...smart and positively cunning people like Obama just rock. We need more people like this. I hope his and Michelle Obama's action of getting tested for HIV ripples across Africa, and across the world. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting documentary movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member What a good thing he is already doin for our black peps. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Just a tape to get your attention. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
