Maintaining our civil rights is an everyday struggle. If you give up, all dreams die!, 7 August 2002
9/10
Author: John Glasscock from Bloomington, IN

This is the best movie Richard Dreyfus has been in. Corruption and dirty tricks in a senatorial campaign directed by John Lithgow, an Abbie Hoffman character played by F. Murray Abraham, not a little comedy and a heaping of social commentary a la 60's style make this a highly recommended movie. I hope it comes out on DVD soon.
