Someone must be doing something right when they can collect seven and a half bucks a head to watch a commercial. Otherwise liberal realities would have shut this thing down. Oh, wait....

Cons want to see a movie that reenforces their the viewpoint they already have. The Glenn Beck crowd will gladly pay the ticket price.

I paid $5.25. I'd say the ticket was overpriced by about $5.00.

I'm waiting for a Black Jack Kennedy version to stream. Why pay for an original when I can get bootleg for free?

I was just reading reviews of 2016 and many different people are seeing it including democrats and African Americans . By what I have read it is well done and the reviews say it is very fair to Obama. It is based on facts and tells the story of Obama's life in regards to his books and his life. I am going to see it probably tomorrow.

Many theaters have it playing in my area now. It is doing very well.

Just got back from seeing it. Not great, but very worthwhile....good food for thought.

There was widespread applause in my theater at its ending....in the Bay Area, no less.

The movie looks very cheesy.

I'll never know however. There are about 500 movies I'd rather see before this one.

It is the Limpblubber/Beckless marketing model. Works well on the susceptible. Well, not so much for the Beckster any more. He may have stepped in it too many times. They are both relegated to their audiences inability to be able to figure out how their car radio can be switched to FM.
