SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

jfa42 Overall weak effort given the possibilities. There's simply not enough context presented for the viewer to be more involved in the story. I thought the totally blown opportunity would have been for the director Bradford to become more involved in the story and present his commentary from time to time, or other crew members for that matter. It would have lended a more rounded view and been more compelling.Quite frankly, after the first 10 minutes or so, the interviewing of people on the street gets pretty repetitive. I had the FF button on my DVD remote working overtime. A little bit went a long way. Again there were so many possibilities and chances to make this a much more interesting film. There's no doubt in my mind that any positive response to this film has much more to do w/ the PC nature of the subject matter than anything else. In terms of style there really is none to speak of, the film is made in an unpretentious way, but is also totally unremarkable in every way. very flat! The short film that was included on the DVD was a much better effort imo.

ApeCreature This movie from start to finish was an in-depth look into the developing minds of the mental and physically challenged. I must say that it puts away the fears that the general public reserve for the less fortunate, including the severely retarded. I, being one of these people, have a new understanding and tolerance. The line between "laughing at them" and "laughing with them" is not even an issue. The sheer joy, dedication and child-like determination makes this film shine. Whether it be the "goofiness" of the characters or the ignorance of the people they encounter. You will undoubtedly be laughing your head off from start to end and left with a warm, fuzzy feeling deep down. This movie is an instant cult classic and has already been copied and recopied through my friends. The reaction is ALWAYS the same..."Tell us, "How's Your News?"".

delbruk If you noticed that Trey Parker and Matt Stone were listed as Executive Producers for this film you may wonder how much that would translate into this being a snide comedy. Well, You would be right about the comedy at least but this film extends so far to the human capabilities in us all that South Park is not even on the map. Arthur Bradford has accomplished an amazing feat just by allowing his camera to catch the human interactions of his friends who star in this film as "man on the street" reporters. The success and joy of this road trip across the US comes directly from the actors/stars who along their way meet and interact with people from all walks of life. This uniqueness and honesty is all caught perfectly on camera as the ability of each reporter is highlighted and becomes as much an accomplishment as the trip itself. I had the privilege of meeting many members of the film including Arthur Bradford and Susan Harrington during its showing at the Woodstock Film Festival. After meeting them it was apparent that the energy, honesty, and humor that culminates this film was natural and in abundance.So if you want to take a road trip with some unique, interesting, and genuinely funny individuals then find this film!Bravo!

jeffmartin This documentary is the kind of film that makes you want to be alive! At first glance, the idea of severely disabled people trekking across the country and interviewing people for their "news" show seems kind of depressing. While many people talk to the reporters, others are jerks and ignore them. Yet through scene after scene, the spirit of the cast will warm your heart. The people in this film are truly inspiring. Plus, it's funny as hell ! Best documentary I've seen since "I'm from Hollywood."
