It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Helen Thomas is an interesting subject. She's been a reporter and had access to all nine US presidents from Kennedy to W. I would like to see a real movie about this unique woman. However, this short documentary doesn't really do the subject justice. While it is an interesting chat, nothing is really delved into too deeply (including W's hostility to the media, alluded to by the previous commenter). It didn't seem to take a chronological look at her life and work, nor did it seem to group things together into themes. It was just sort of random, to me. I would have liked to know in more detail things like: What really motivated Helen to get into reporting? What happened to her colleagues from her school, and what do they have to say about her? What happened in her husband's career after they got married? What was Helen's relationship to the rest of the media, when they were not asking the necessary questions? What does she see in the future of reporting on the president?

This movie only confirms (Ms. Thomas literally admits that she's liberal)the truth that the media is infiltrated with liberals who "act" impartial until eventually showing their true colors.Now, I'm not a right-wing wacko...I'm fairly middle of the road. But to watch this advertisement for the Democratic party's socialistic agenda just sickens me.Helen Thomas, a reporter with 40+ years of correspondence within the White House, recounts her tenure and various stories of asking 8 different Presidents a variety of questions. Sounds cool, eh? Nope, not even slightly. Within the first 5 minutes, it became clear that this "documentary" was a Bush-bashing good times.Of course, just look at the name of the director (Rory KENNEDY) and you understand the tone. Wait, KENNEDY? Ah, as in the KENNEDY family? Yep, that one. The one with at least three sets of allegations against individual family members and their relatives by marriage. (1 murder conviction, controversial rape charges and that little bridge in Chappaquidick). Liberal, yep, very liberal.Again, it was basically 45 minutes of making quick, passing reference to Clinton (who REALLY DID LIE TO America) and then a fixation on current President Bush and his tet-a-tet with Ms. Thomas. Somewhere in there were some other references to other Presidents too...but not that much because that would take time away from taking shots at Bush.The first amendment protects us all including the Ms. Thomas' & Kennedy's of the world. It also protects simple guys like me who are sick and tired of these talking heads on both sides of the proverbial aisle (Dems v Repubs). So, with that protection in hand, this movie is crap and both the director and subject should be ashamed of themselves: Ms. Thomas for misleading us all these years (unbiased? impartial? Lady, puhleesssse!) and Ms. Kennedy for creating this dreck that has removed 45 minutes from my life that I can never get back. (I know, I know - they didn't force me to watch it)
