I have managed to get through about half of this movie. What a train wreck.

I thought it was a cute, if not divinely inspired, movie.  Mainly notable, IMHO, for Bill O'Reilly's cameo.
It's not Academy Award stuff but neither was it a train wreck.

That's about where I gave up trying to watch it. Not because of O'Reilly, but because that bit was so awful, with the Rosie O'Donnell clone rambling on and on, as if it would eventually get funny if she kept at it longenoughbutitdidntwork.

Ya know, I think that describes the whole movie.  =|

He died November 28th, 2010.  That was after this movie was made.

Political movies that try to score points in the here & now are generally awful.

Cases in point:

Atlas Shrugged
Baker's dozen of anti-war movies from 2002 until now
