See it.

I found it incredibly enjoyable and very fair. Going in I was under the impression it was a political satire but found it to be more of a bio-pic which is to say; it is less biased (leftist or right-winger) then one might expect of the movie industry today with the political climate being what it is based on the events of the past eight years.

The acting is remarkable, each actor doing a superb job of portraying their real life counterparts. The writing and direction is amazing as is the camera work.

Unfortunately, not being a comic-themed-alien-busting-horror-suspense-war movie, I don't think it will receive much blockbuster acclaim. However, the various critics who have reviewed it (namely marking it as an 'indy' style counter-pop film) have had some very good things to say about it.

This is one I recommend seeing in theater - I plan on purchasing the DVD when it is released.

All in all I found it to be a very enjoyable biographical-political film.

I'm not persuaded. I may rent it or watch it on TV.
