Good words for Do As I Say

NRO's Kevin Williamson has good things to say about Nick Tucker's Do As I Say:


Do As I Say is funny throughout and does''t get bogged down in the sort of angry grinding that tends to characterize too much political polemic on both sides.

Jonah Goldberg makes an appearance in the film, and he's in good form. By far my favorite stunt in the film has do to with Michael Moore's trust and investment portfolio, which includes interests in Halliburton, General Electric, and other defense contractors. Moore denies that he has any such investments, so the filmmakers get a copy of his trust's tax returns to document them. Moore refuses to look at it, so they do the obvious thing and employ a cake decorator to replicate the documents on delicious baked goods. Hilarity ensues as the police are dispatched to the Moore compound to deal with this dangerous dessert. It's beautiful stuff. Ted Kennedy gets ambushed, George Soros lampooned and, against all odds, you will learn something new and depressing about the Clintons' real-estate endeavors in Arkansas. (Yes, my eyes rolled when Clintonian real-estate deals came up, but hang on, it's an interesting segment.)


Do As I Say celebrated its world premiere at the American Film Renaissance Film Festival on October 2, where it both entertained and outraged hundreds of audience members.
