THE GOOD
I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. It’s been a while
since I’ve gone to a theater to see a documentary. Actually now that I think
about it this might be a first. Besides those ones you’re forced to go to in
school. The thing I liked most about this documentary was although it was about
a political figure. The politics were not in it really. Yes, you know what he
ran as but much past that they didn’t go into it much further then that. It was
about Mr. Weiner and his pursuit. I guess more accurately his disastrous
pursuit to become Mayor of New York City. They did bring up the scandal that
was a running theme throughout the movie but not in a way where I was saying to
myself “I get it. Move on.” It worked for me. Interesting to watch a guy who is
always going one step to far and doesn’t seem to know when to stop and although
you can admire that the ego of this guy really starts to show its self towards
the end. Well off to the next section as
I’m rambling and my comments aren’t in order.
THE BAD
Honestly, I don’t
have much bad to say about this documentary at all. It was well filmed, the
focus of the documentary was an interesting guy, and they kept the politics out
of it. (Come to think of it I could of saved myself a lot of typing if I would
of just put it this way in the top section.. Eh moving on.) No complaints here.
THE CONCLUSION
Now as you can see by my rating below I gave it 9 out of 10.
I imagine your asking yourself, If you’ve read this far, why isn’t it a solid
10 out of 10. I don’t know… It doesn’t feel like a 10 out of 10 for me but for
what reason I couldn’t tell you. Maybe I just wanted a little more closure as
to what everyone is up to now since all of this happened… Yes that’s it a poor
reason but the only one I could think of other then a “feeling”. Final verdict
if you are interested in all about politics then you should go. Are you a fan
of people with huge ego’s who don’t know when to stop? Go. Are you just a fan
of documentaries? Go. See the trailer below and if you like it… Guess what? Go.
