Pelosi's willingness to open up and look into her own spot in the campaign frenzy makes this meta-documentary important the media and those who consume it.

A depressing confirmation of everything those of us who don’t object to the description "unelected" have suspected all along: George W. Bush is an incurious, uncharismatic, overgrown frat boy with a mean streak a mile wide.

An amusing, breezily apolitical documentary about life on the campaign trail.

The movie is virtually without context -- journalistic or historical. What's worse is that Pelosi knows it.

All in all, an interesting look at the life of the campaign-trail press, especially ones that don't really care for the candidate they're forced to follow.

Shaky close-ups of turkey-on-rolls, stubbly chins, liver spots, red noses and the filmmakers new bobbed do draw easy chuckles but lead nowhere.

A chronicle not only of one man's quest to be president, but of how that man single-handedly turned a plane full of hard-bitten, cynical journalists into what was essentially, by campaign's end, an extended publicity department.

It's a hoot and a half, and a great way for the American people to see what a candidate is like when he's not giving the same 15-cent stump speech.
