The fact that this got such a low meta score is in itself suspect, This is not the highest grade production but it's good enough not to detract from the interesting plot line, agree or disagree with dinesh, he is a very intelligent interesting person who deserves to be heard out at least, certainly doesn't deserve the artificial meta score of 2. I've never written a review before but In this case i felt i had to, to at least give him the credit he is due and stand up to the liberal ideologues running Hollywood, I'm not usually a fan of conspiracy theories but after seeing this movie/documentary I can't understand how else it got a meta score of 2, when it probably deserves something around 40-50. Anyone that's interested in a narrative other than the artificial liberal spin, should watch this movie.
Watching "Hillary's America", it's blindingly evident that Dinesh D'Souza's really mad at the Obama Administration. I think "butthurt" is what the kids are calling it these days. Hard to argue against that when you open your movie by recounting your imprisonment over campaign finance transgressions; those scenes are utter self-victimization. From there, it's fifty minutes of exposing the Democratic party's sinister history of slavery and oppression. D'Souza's sick of the Republicans being called racists, I get it. He doesn't even get around to Hillary until over an hour in; and even then, it's just an excuse to get Planned Parenthood in his crosshairs. It's all over the map.
Clearly, this is not for me. Hell, I can't even recommend this to anyone because it has no redeeming value. Facts are eschewed in favor of cheap reenactments, and all he knows how to do is beat you over the head with the same message. Subtlety is not one of his virtues. This is good for a few laughs in the beginning, but it becomes a real endurance test soon after. Give the man credit for nabbing the highest-grossing documentary honor for what is thinly-veiled propaganda, but he is an awful filmmaker.

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.
To be honest, both parties are corrupt and need to be bulldozed and rebuilt, if you are going to do a documentary (If this was one) then do one on the Republican party too, it's just as evil! If you are going to vote, vote for an independent!! Trump is no the answer!!

God help us all (Trying to fill up 10 lines) XD If anything, let Obama stay in. thanks
I give it 2 stars just for production and not product.

Watching as blank wall is more entertaining than viewing this movie. This basically a movie version of a wiki page, a really bad, poorly made, and deceptive wiki page, maybe Conservative Wiki. Bad history, bad reenactments, terrible wigs and costumes, and direction that is either absent, or incompetent.
Sorry, but the actress who plays Hilary is terrible, really over the top and cackling. I don't blame her as much as I blame the director who told her to play it this way. I', an actor, and I know actors are tools of the directors.
Avoid anything by convicted felon D'Souza, he's just telling his tiny audience what they want to hear.
