SummarySomeone once observed: "America is great because she is good; if she ever ceases to be good she will cease to be great." Today that notion of the essential goodness of America is under attack, replaced by another story in which theft and plunder are seen as the defining features of American history—from the theft of Native American and Mexican la...

It's far more invested in elaborate historical reenactments, hypothetical dramatizations and special effects than interviews, research and data.

America is less successful as a debate, since it isn’t one. D’Souza controls the conversation, and thus goes unchallenged when he tries to make real-world points with make-believe scenarios.

Another example of critics who hate America. It is always funny have all the critics fine anything that is against their core socialist views negatively. Good that the viewers can see through this, but many never see the film because of their bias... Another example of history coming alive.

Great Documentary, well worth watching. Well written and thought out. Doesn't lag like at all, moves quickly and is uplifting. It will leave you feeling good.

Dinesh D'Souza's America: Imagine a World Without Her paints a genuinely troublesome portrait of the country — just not at all in the way he intends.

For the most part, however, D’Souza gives the impression of someone obsessed with whitewashing any and all dark chapters in U.S. history books. There are times when his defenses and rationalizations come across as almost laughably facile.

Graced with a hilariously definitive title, America is astonishingly facile, a film comprised entirely of straw man arguments.

It's all fist-pumping anti-thought, consisting of baseless revisionist history and idle contrarianism.

It would be one thing if D'Souza had an idea, or any idea, he could stick to as a through-line in his project. But America isn't a documentary; it's more like the badly-filmed version of a badly-written, meandering op-ed piece from a paper that lacks fact-checking or proofreading.

Michael Moore may not be able to sleep because Dinesh is his worst nightmare. Its a horror film for liberals! Liberals don't argue on truth or facts but on which this film will be hard for them to stand corrected by their errors about history. But it doesn't matter because once somebody is wrong they will find a new excuse and loophole to protest their cause to be right, just as the kid who says I know it was wrong to hit him but he started it first. Two wrongs don't make a right. It reminds me of how Viet Cong swayed Americans to their side to win the war by ending the fight and made them go against our own troops just as the terrorist is swaying Americans to hate their own country so you can help them win the war because they don't give a dam about blowing you up and murdering your kids and family. Pacifist Americans remind me of a weak betrayer who would go on the side of the enemy to please their Master like the **** pacifist in America did to support their cause. Terrorists don't need to attack America anymore, American libs are doing a fine job at it by being recruited as traders psychologically by Jihad. Every country wants to hate America but play double standards where they desire to have our goods and freedom. Its about jealousy, despising, coveting, and low self esteem against a country who has better. When will you stand up American jellyfish for your country and stop being Benedict Arnolds you yellow belly cowards. Everybody else love their own country except you dimwit and you condone hate to spread like poison to fuel the fire so terrorist can have an excuse to murder us. You have blood on your hands.

The "professional" reviewers show their true colors. Just as the major media markets are aligned with Obama as to be part of his public relations team. They are not fair and balanced in any way whatsoever. If they were, then every Michael Moore movie that was made, and were made by completely arranging the events of the movie so as to be rigged, would have been rated with the same vitriol that these professional snots have rated this movie. It was the same when "The Passion of Christ" came out. Before they had seen the movie, they had their poison pens ready and reviews were already written. I think we can all agree that the major media markets will eventually be dissolved because of their intent on steering the arguments and not being impartial. Long live the internet. It will be the thing that this country (and the world) needs to be given the facts, and not have to depend on the "dog-food" that these left-wing liberal media outlets are trying to feed us. You can fool some of the people some of the time.....

Snore! I really wish I could get back the 20 minutes I wasted before walking out of this gab fest from Dinesh D'Souza, Inc. There is nothing here that's not in his bland, fake-factoid filled books.

I'll give two stars because D'Souza has offered up a far more cogent and coherent documentary argument than most of his ideological stripe ever has before. Alas, the argument is a failed one, full of holes, inaccuracies, false assumptions, and numerous straw men that get beaten to a pulp while more informed and truthful counterarguments are ignored. It preaches to the choir and will produce few, if any, converts. And, hey, this film had a major distributor and opened in more than 1,100 theaters nationwide, yet it has grossed less than $12 million to date, making it the 19th-ranking documentary of all time. Fahrenheit 911 opened in 868 theaters and grossed nearly $120 million, making it the top-raking documentary of all time. And Moore's film was both documentary and satire, making it entertaining!

The worst documentary I've ever seen, this film is a nasty, boring, idiotic, and unfocused propaganda film, with no idea of what it really wants to be! The film is one big mess, with no true, exact focus. I don't even know if it is anti or pro American!
