I get that the film versions are never as good as the book, so I didn't go in expecting it to be. However, almost EVERYTHING was changed for the film except the general premise and character names. Everything good about the book was missing here. There is no character development whatsoever, everything is completely predictable, and there is no depth to the plot at all. Spielberg is washed up! What a joke this film is. Ernest Cline has to be furious.

Going into this film, I knew it was going to be a one-sided conservative hit piece. Fine. Many of the claims D'Souza makes are ultimately true, though some are exaggerated more than others. However, he of course does not criticize "his side", who are just as corrupt as the Democratic Party. While a lot of it certainly is factual, he omits a lot of facts that pertain to what he is discussing. He paints the picture that Republicans are and have always been noble, do-no-wrong saints in the political world. Someone could make a similar movie about the "Secret History of the Republican Party" as well, put them together, then you have "The History of the Corruption and Corporatization of the American Political System" - a more accurate portrayal. Let's be real folks, the D's and R's have done this together, and only divide the population who ultimately have the same interests using the issues that D'Souza talks about in this film - race, abortion, guns, etc.
