Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

jimshiz My opinion refers to actual outcomes of the documentary, so this review should be considered a "spoiler": Kind of ironic how the title of the documentary is "The Brainwashing Of My Dad" supposedly refers to how Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, FOX News, etc. "brainwashed" her Dad into right-wing thinking. As it turns out, in my opinion, the real "brainwashing" was by the Mom and daughter who modified the TV and email to only allow left-wing views to be presented. The Dad did eventually moderate his views back to left-leaning and that is fine.Both sides present slanted information. Some things are "fact" and there is no wiggle room for compromise. Obama did refer to right wing conservatives who cling to their Bible & guns. Hiliary referred to right wing conservatives as a basket of deplorables who were not redeemable. But, some things are just factual: if you are a Conservative you likely oppose abortion. Usually the Democrat candidate does not oppose abortion, but the Republican candidate does oppose abortion. Ditto (see what I did there) with the topic of the Death Penalty, higher taxes for welfare vs. defense, estate/death taxes, gay marriage, 2nd Amendment gun rights, illegal immigration, global climate change, etc. If a news source is on the other side of the argument on these topics, then someone like me is not likely to give them as much credence as we will when we hear opinions that we agree with.This documentary implies that the FOX News side of the story is the only one out there. Without FOX News we'd be left with CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and NPR. These are ALL obviously biased to the left and a source of "false" news. FOX News simply allows us to balance the sources with just ONE channel on our side! It is thoughts like those from Slate that contributed to Hiliary's LOSS this year. It is time to put America first again and brag about our exceptionalism rather than apologizing for ANYTHING we did in the past! We WILL make America GREAT again!

timlin-4 This documentary is very low quality and borderline unwatchable. It might be acceptable if were made by a middle school student, though a schoolgirl would have been more conscientious, and also wouldn't have scammed people out of money to make it. The historical footage and visual effects are low quality and silly, and the original interviews of Democrat partisans lack any insight. Of course media manipulation could be a valid topic, but if you prove that "conspiracy theories" are planted by corporations to get people to vote "against their interests" for Republicans with a clip of corporate-backed Hillary Clinton pointing her finger at a "vast right-wing conspiracy" you need to straighten out your thinking.The title is really a bait-and-switch, since there is more analysis of Limbaugh and Fox News, which are very stale topics at this point, than of the director's father. The only examples of his "brainwashing" presented are that he thought the government should encourage people get jobs and that waitresses shouldn't be arrested for immodest clothing, which are neither extremist or even particularly conservative positions. It wouldn't be surprising for a retiree to become grumpy and fixated on a topic, but Senko's accusations against her father are left at the level of innuendo. After its various pointless digressions and pretensions of academic thoroughness the movie does return to the subject to show footage of her father, now confused and childish as his mind has deteriorated to such an extent that he doesn't notice that his wife has deviously blocked TV channels and his email subscriptions. The smugness of mother and daughter at achieving this "cure" is almost a reason to watch the movie. Nothing reported second-hand in even the most vehement right-wing media can come close to demonstrating how vile and irredeemable leftist nuts are compared to their own personal accounts.

chadcarmichael About five seconds into this, I solved the mystery of why this old WWII vet was so "angry" and "bitter" He had a condescending witch of a daughter who was embarrassed of him, who's love for him was conditioned upon his sharing her viewpoint on everything, and who cashed in on how funny her friends thought it was when she made fun of her old dad by turning it into a mockumentary after he died. The reason conservative talk radio is so successful is because people like Ken's dad work their entire lives to make sure their children want for nothing only to have their children become preachy, ignorant, self-entitled know it all who do not understand the value of family, loyalty, or respect. It's just a good thing this poor guy died before his daughter could announce to the world that he was a dottering old moron who couldn't be trusted with a radio let alone his own point of view.

kyriazi Using her dad as an example, Filmmaker Jen Senko, who wondered how her Democrat father had become a Fox News fan, exposes the tricks behind the right-wing media. In discovering what happened to him, Senko reveals the bigger picture of what's happening behind-the-scenes to influence our national discourse.I was attracted to this documentary because I've had discussions with my own parents and friends who think Fox New is a News Station. People have become fearful and quote Fox News like it's journalism.I can't believe their slogans: 'fair and balanced' and 'we report you decide' because to suggest that these slogans are behind FOX News is ridiculous. Yea Jen!
