New movie list 2016: Obama's America 2016 Obama's America takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world's most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?" Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America's ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world. Love him or hate him, you don't know him. -- (C) Official Site Release Date 2016: Obama's America Jul 13, 2012 Limited | |

Review For 2016: Obama's America |
The film flutters to the ground like so much GOP convention confetti, all assertions, few facts and little substance other than the conspiratorial right wing talking points that are D'Souza's bread and butter. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
The film is a sleepy dud, a polemic that, like D'Souza himself, is at once both outrageous and deeply boring. Alan Scherstuhl-Village Voice
The movie seems destined to irritate the president's supporters while mobilizing his detractors, even as it is doomed to win precious few converts. It's a textbook example of preaching to the choir. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
No one doubts that the country faces major challenges in the next four years, but there is one safe bet: The future is unlikely to be affected by this simplistic documentary. Stephen Farber-Hollywood Reporter
Viewers may do some headscratching. This can be a very strange movie. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe
Every anti-Obama argument D'Souza makes from the right could be made, more forcefully, from the left. Richard Corliss-TIME Magazine
2016: Obama's America comes to seem like clownish alarmist speculation taking place in an echo chamber of talking heads. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com
D'Souza never actually shows...Obama's own words or deeds. Instead, he engages in guilt by association. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
So Obama is bringing socialism to America by 2016? That would explain why Bain Capital is making bigger donations to him than to its founder Mitt Romney. Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
As questionable as right wing D'Souza's lack of unbiased assertions, is the seeming lack of anyone out there who can rise above being either a red state or blue state movie critic, when it comes to political documentaries in such a divided nation. Prairie Miller-NewsBlaze
Anti-Obama documentary trades objectivity for persuasion. Renee Schonfeld-Common Sense Media
[This] unsubstantiated mess isn't much of a movie or a documentary. Brett Michel-Boston Phoenix
The evidence is highly selective and varies widely in effectiveness, but D'Souza mounts his argument with a kind of calm intensity that gives it some credence-for a while, at least. James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk
As a pressing piece of propaganda, the film could use a louder voice and edgier tone. Christopher Campbell-Movieline
Part scholarship and part sensationalism, 2016: Obama's America will make Dinesh D'Souza the conservative Michael Moore. Jonathan W. Hickman-Daily Film Fix
"2016: Obama's America" is the sort of paranoid, conspiracy-theory thriller I'm always a sucker for. But it's not as entertaining when it purports to be the truth. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
...an extremely well-made and well-reasoned examination of who Obama really is, told mainly through Obama himself reading from his book, Dreams From My Father, and interviews with people like Obama's half brother, George Obama, in Kenya. Tony Medley-Tolucan Times
The film is certainly anti-Obama but it does provide food for thought for the undecided. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
