- 40New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNew York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierHeartening, and yet, a year after being filmed, unintentionally aggravating.
- 30Chicago ReaderChicago ReaderThere are fascinating moments... but these are overshadowed by an endless stream of sound bites and pep talks to volunteers.
- 30VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibFor every engrossing rank-and-file story, there are endless self-congratulatory explanations and podium highlights.
- 20Village VoiceVillage VoiceA well-intentioned but dull, video-ugly documentary if it weren't partly financed by its subject, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU); that just makes it a crappy infomercial.
- 20Time OutTime OutEven when it’s shooting in the swing states, the film never finds drama, focus or any greater purpose other than some dubious horn-blowing about the SEIU being singularly responsible for electing President Obama.
- The result is, more than anything else, a slickly produced 76-minute commercial for the union; to call it a documentary is to stretch the term almost beyond meaning.
