2016: Obama's America Ratings & Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The film asks the question "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?," then posits some disturbing answers. Disturbing, but dubious.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A nonsensically unsubstantiated act of character assassination.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The movie seems destined to irritate the president's supporters while mobilizing his detractors, even as it is doomed to win precious few converts. It's a textbook example of preaching to the choir.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
The film is not after new insight; rather, it's intent on laying out the arguments of a man who has given the same lecture countless times. That makes for a sluggish film. Even its outrage falls flat.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Viewers may do some headscratching. This can be a very strange movie.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
An exercise in preaching to the choir.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
D'Souza never actually shows...Obama's own words or deeds. Instead, he engages in guilt by association.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
This is neither printing the facts nor printing the legend: it's printing the flop sweat.
New York Times
Andy Webster
Not interviewed by the filmmakers are Obama's political supporters, but this isn't that kind of documentary.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
"2016: Obama's America" comes to seem like clownish alarmist speculation taking place in an echo chamber of talking heads.
The New York Review of Books
J. Hoberman
D'Souza is loath to give offense to what he seemingly regards as America's dominant culture. Indeed, one might just as easily interpret the entirety of 2016 as evidence of D'Souza over-compensation with regards to his feeling of post-colonial...
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
The film is a sleepy dud, a polemic that, like D'Souza himself, is at once both outrageous and deeply boring.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
No one doubts that the country faces major challenges in the next four years, but there is one safe bet: The future is unlikely to be affected by this simplistic documentary.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Every anti-Obama argument D'Souza makes from the right could be made, more forcefully, from the left.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
D'Souza's demented anti-Obama crusade feels personal more than political.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Presented as a conspiracy-thriller with ominous music and zig-zaggy camerawork, "2016" hammers at suspicions, not issues -- a dishonorable tactic whether from the right or the left.
Variety
Joe Leydon
While it's highly unlikely that anyone predisposed to championing Obama would be won over by the sound and fury here, there's no gainsaying the value of 2016 as a sort of Cliffs Notes precis of the conservative case against [Obama].
WORLD
Megan Basham
Segments dealing with the college-age Obama's political activities and his later involvement with domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers are... valid and illuminating territory for viewers who haven't heard these things before.

Louis Proyect
So Obama is bringing socialism to America by 2016? That would explain why Bain Capital is making bigger donations to him than to its founder Mitt Romney.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
As questionable as right wing D'Souza's lack of unbiased assertions, is the seeming lack of anyone out there who can rise above being either a red state or blue state movie critic, when it comes to political documentaries in such a divided nation.
