The writer of this letter is the loser. He does get beaten up in the comments section, a surprise as this is a left-leaning rag.

After 50 years of marriage, he’s clearly in the “go home and take a pill” range. That might change his mind, but I doubt it.

Gee that’s one, maybe two people that don’t like it.

In my book that’s a winner!

I have read a number of leftist attacks on this movie, especially from professional critics like Roger Ebert. Lots of complaints, and even accusations that the movie being full of lies.

Of course, the critics never actually point to specific lies or offer any truth of their supposed untruths.

Typical leftist tripe. Once they get past the baseless accusations and eye rolls, they have nothing else to say except for calling names.

“My wife and I are avid movie attendees — dinner and a movie every Friday for more than 50 years”

Anyone that addicted to Hollywood movies is going to be a mind numbed robot liberal.

Dude might want to look at all the health care companies who signed on and their increasing revenue post launch. The left is so stupid they think they got one over on those evil healthcare companies. Instead they signed on with one of the biggest boosts ever given my government to big business.

Can't have a movie criticizing Obama. So racist, you know.

Liberals can't stand truth or any opinions contrary to theirs.

As a Canadian, the royalist vs whig argument is still somewhat alive here among those who care about those things, so this might be an interesting movie for me. Had the king won, we would probably have had a Tory version of the US and Britain prevail. (Toryism has always been alive and well sadly here in Canada).

typical lefty loonie with their feigned outrage. Only a liberal has the nerve to track down a manager to DEMAND a refund from the manager, probably loving the idea of making a scene at the theater. I can’t imagine how many conservatives walk out of the theater on the typical leftist Hollywood drivel without saying a peep instead of throwing a tantrum like a baby like this middle aged guy probably did.

Currently his movie is over $8.2 million, with a production budget of about $2.5 million.

I saw the movie at the very first show the day it came to town. I was not disappointed. It made me feel proud to be an American again. Perhaps with any luck liberals who watch it will have a stroke and die. After 5 years of personally suffering from their systematic destruction of the country I really have come to hate them that much.

The audience disagrees. This movie is a winner at the box office.

How can you tell? Look at the box office total for its second weekend.

A movie’s opening weekend is often the most money it will make in a single weekend during its theatrical run. When it opens well, it looks like a hit. But to figure out whether a film is a true hit for the long haul and didn’t just open well, look at the box office total for the second weekend. If the film has dropped more than 50% between week one and week two, it’s over. Your film has flat-lined.

A good example is of a 2nd week death drop is “Noah,” which came out earlier this year. Good opening, but it dropped 60% its second weekend. And it got worse from that point on. So “Noah” goes down as a box office failure.

“America: 2014” dropped only 12.8% between week one and week two. That’s a hit movie.

These “progressive” jerks probably had no idea what the movie was about and assumed, hoped the title would reflect their America hating views.

Firstly, I already had my doubts about this guy’s brain when he wrote he’d gone to the movies every single Friday night for the last 50 years. Just imagine the brain rot that must have set in from the 1990s alone!

Then, he boos during the film - not afterwards in the accepted, conventional manner - thereby disrupting the concentration of the audiences members who may have liked the movie.

Lastly, while I guess he’s entitled to a refund (where’s mine for all those horrible movies I’ve watched??) he actually demanded that the film not be shown! He called for the theatre to withdraw it. What gall!

He also rolled himself up in the flag claiming to be a Korean War Vet - using patriotism as his last refuge.

Both Rudy M. Kuchta and his wife are minor Democrat politicians who run for county office. This being the case, I wonder if they actually paid admission, or just decided to slam the movie based on what they could find out about it on the Internet.

This internet thingie is something.

Evidently Rudy M Kuchta is an octogenarian, retired high school teacher, and is/was an Allegheny County Democrat Party Committee member.

He likely was in the Army during the Korean War-——an RMK was conscripted from that county in 1951.

I’d guess that he already knew the basics of the film prior to viewing and that this letter was generated now since the film does not seem to be quickly vanishing.

The Biblical scripture that comes to my mind...

Proverbs 27:22 Though thou should grind a fool to mortar, yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

After living this many years his problem is not intellectual, but rather moral. He and his wife are rebels and have suppressed the truth in unrighteousness.

It's pretty obvious that the writer of this op-ed is a leftist, perhaps even writing this piece on suggestion from some Democrat or Obama organization.

The film is very worthwhile for any American who cares about the nation's core values and history, and who is concerned about the threats to its continuity imposed by the current regime in Washington. It rebuts the standard leftist misinterpretations of American history, which readily explains why this op-ed writer is so teed off.

There are interesting techniques used to get the messages across, including re-enactments of historical events, with actors doing good jobs in portraying important historic figures, both heroes and villains. There are interviews with currently prominent individuals, both right and left, with Dinesh D'Souza himself doing some of them, plus archived film footage of some major leftists of the recent past.

When I saw it last week, there were only cheers from the audience when the film ended, and absolutely no booing nor heckling nor other open signs of discontent, although I'd have to admit that the crowd was kind of sparse on a weekday afternoon.

To all FReepers and other friends: please make it a point to see "America" if you haven't already done so. You won't be disappointed. (Full disclosure: I have no financial interest in the film.)
