Joe Leydon, Variety: For the most part ... D'Souza gives the impression of someone obsessed with whitewashing any and all dark chapters in U.S. history books. Read more

David Ehrlich, AV Club: Graced with a hilariously definitive title, America is astonishingly facile, a film comprised entirely of straw man arguments. Read more

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Throughout the film, we see D'Souza walking through American landmarks, gravely studying them, deep in contemplation. It brings to mind the old joke about the government: Trust me. I'm here to help. Read more

Joe McGovern, Entertainment Weekly: There's no doubt that D'Souza loves America, but he loves it much in the same way that we all do: According to a map of his own design. Read more

Martin Tsai, Los Angeles Times: It's "Sesame Street"-style show and tell, complete with highly suggestive musical cues. Read more

Rafer Guzman, Newsday: You could bother debating D'Souza on history and semantics and rudimentary logic, but chances are you'd end up feeling like Meathead arguing with Archie Bunker. Read more

James Rocchi, TheWrap: "America" would be simply annoying if it were just preaching to the choir; what makes it unendurable is the fact that D'Souza and Sullivan can't craft a sermon that would keep even the choir awake, interested, and entertained. Read more

Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice: Hilariously, just minutes after reducing Occupy Wall Street to an assault on small hamburger shops, D'Souza attacks insurance companies and Wall Street executives as fellow travelers in Obamacare, this country's one unpardonable sin. Read more

Mark Jenkins, Washington Post: D'Souza controls the conversation, and thus goes unchallenged when he tries to make real-world points with make-believe scenarios. Read more
