I understand Yahoo movie reviews/times/places don't even have it listed.  Sore losers.

Hmm, go to Fandango and purchase some tickets
at the weakest venues.  Oh, there are none.  ;D

Sitting down with popcorn at this moment. Previews for new Clint Eastwood movie looks pretty good.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

It was well-written and well-produced. It strayed little from the central theme of dissecting the evidence surrounding Barack Obama's roots, resulting ideology, and subsequent motivations.

It offered nothing surprising to me whatsoever. I already knew what D'Souza shows.

This film has two chances to make an impact outside the choir:
#1) By sheer numbers at the box office, Americans opposed to Obama's vision will have their opposition affirmed by one another
#2) For democrats who never bargained for full-on collectivist transformation and who have resisted connecting dots, this film could lead them to understand some new things.

People like me will be persuaded of nothing new, aside from the value of #1 and/or #2.

As far as I know, it hasn't come to a theater near me....But when it does, I'll go see it.
I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

At least one review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes, is not allowing the public to even know about the film. It is currently #4 at the box office and yet it isn't even on the box office list at Rotten Tomatoes. You can find the "2016" review page only if you use the Rotten Tomatoes search window. It is there but it's hidden. I guess some movies are too dangerous or controversial for Rotten Tomatoes to allow the public to know about it.

imdb.com does not list it in their box office, either but they at least show it in their opening movies list.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Rotten Tomatoes, we've got a long row to hoe.

Well, RottenTomatoes finally and probably grudgingly listed "2016" (correctly) as eighth place for the weekend.

 While pundits and critics are divided over whether "2016: Obama's America" is a sobering documentary examining "the most mysterious U.S. president in modern history" or an 87-minute attack ad, there's no debating that the film is a box office phenomenon.

Taking a page from his own book "The Roots of Obama's Rage," conservative scholar Diniseh D'Souza's film has shocked industry prognosticators by earning an estimated $20 million to date, more than five times what the second-highest documentary this year

It's a great feat, but perspective and honest assessment demand comparison to a similar Leftist "documentary" that purports to reveal truths about a president.

Fahrenheit 911 Domestic Gross: $119,194,771

Little victories like "2016" notwithstanding, the Left wins propaganda wars more often - probably because of the simple reason that they are willing to lie outright for effect.

2016's impact can be compared to Moore's Bowling for Columbine: $21,576,018. Not insignificant by any means, but not game-changing.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

True dat - including the fact that they have no compunction against using public funds (through schools and other public agencies) to purchase and promote their leftist crap. They force us to support their crummy agenda.

Payback - Hound D'Souza, file false charges, indict him and make it costly...and show 'em who the boss really is!

Political persecution is no longer the province of seedy low-life regimes abroad...we have nothing lower or seedier than the Obama Regime!

For those who think fascism and another holocaust could not happen here...I give you these words directed at liberal/progressive/mainstream Democrat Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States!
