4th place is not exactly a bomb which would have been befitting considering that the RottenTomatoes reviews show only a 27% favorable rating.

Hmmmm...perhaps their timing was a little off.

With victory and peace rising in Iraq, maybe these movies are a little outdated? Somewhat irrelevant?

Heh!

Good. Any political picture with Redford and Streep in it has got to have an ultra liberal message.

From what i’ve heard and read about it, it’s not likely to even be in the top 10 by next week end.

This is a bomb considering that the movie cost $50Million
to produce. According to Medved it will take $100million
in receipts to make money. No chance of that happening.

The point here is that all these anti-Bush Anti-war films
have not made any money.

Hollyweird is hard left. They are out of touch with America.

Liberals keep getting disappointed anti-America flicks continue to bomb at the box office.

Here is a review from my favorite celeb gossip site (note the conservative tone of their commentary...they like to smack down the PC glitterati).

Apparently, there is friction (boohoo) amongst the 'stars'...

Strike one: For the vast majority of releases nowadays, movies do their best bit of business on opening weekend. After that ticket sales slide at a geometric rate.

Strike two:The movie is opening behind competition that is literally weeks old.

Strike three:Even Roger Ebert couldn't stand the in your face lecturing of this dud.

This movie is a bomb! Hallelujah!!

Well, heck. Does this mean that the viewing public isn’t too interested in some blinking actor’s political point of view? When will they ever learn to shut up and entertain?

Heard that it is extremely boring. Like listening to 1,000 hours of CNN and CSpan.

Here's a sunnier view of it:

'Lions' doesn't roar - Users crush "Lions for Lambs," and critics aren't too kind, either.

This is good news. Anything which gums up the gears of the Hollywood machine is welcome news.

Actually, for a film with a huge marketing budget and mega star power, opening 4th is the definition of BOMB!!

It’s telling that the commercials for the movie don’t even try to explain the plot, but are about 80% voice-overs and 20% Tom Cruise asking “Do you want to win the War on Terror?”

A film that won’t even present itself bombs at the box office. Gee, who could’ve guessed?

I still have no idea what this movie is about.

Haha! Justice! Of course, this will only make them even more bitter, they will continue to paint the rest of the country as misguided, ignorant peons.

I wish I had money to start my own movie studio and distribution operation. I’d clean up where these folks fall down.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have been praying this film seriously tanks and we can finally see the decline and fall of Redford and Cruise.

I mean, who wants to give these guys money anymore? If their movies don’t make money, they will not be able to command high salaries, they won’t be offered parts or director’s roles.

I needed to hear something good today. Whooo-hoo!

They release this “movie” on Veterans Day weekend??? No way will I ever pay to see this film. Add Redford, Streep and Cruise to my “do not watch” list. I wish they would just go away.

Just another nail in the coffin of Tom Cruise’s career.

I couldn’t be happier. Coming from the Utah County area, where I was born and raised and know redford all to well, ahem, its about time people keep their monies for family events and entertainment instead of making these idiots rich and in their minds, more important than they really are....

redford should own a toilet paper company, about his style!

Does this cement its chances of getting an Ohate America Award??? You can’t turn on your TV w/o getting 2 Lies to Loons commercials.
