Leave your thoughts about Grassroots.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenGives the impression that a city council campaign in Seattle is followed by only a bunch of youths whooping it up. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenAlthough it only glosses the mechanics of local politics, it exudes an endearingly scruffy charm. |
| Total FilmJames MottramWith Avatar's Moore on inspiring form, and Biggs the best he's been since early Pie, this is still worth your vote. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonAn enjoyable, fitfully engaging but ever-so-slightly forgettable minor-key political comedy. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerEngaging, enjoyable and extremely well timed political comedy/drama with a strong script and a pair of terrific performances from Jason Biggs and Joel David Moore. |
| GuardianMike McCahillProves very likable, if a little Sorkin-lite. |
| Observer (UK)Philip French[A] refreshing real-life political story ... |
| NPRStephanie ZacharekGrassroots is a movie where bad ideas, because they're the ones championed by the "correct" side, are king. It never acknowledges that sometimes idealism is just another kind of manipulation. |
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanPerhaps the most curious omission from the movie Grassroots is that there's no mention at all of the classic "Simpsons" episode "Marge vs. the Monorail." |
| Long Island PressPrairie MillerYou don't have to look too far these days to notice films abounding with jobless and financially struggling characters, in stark contrast to the recession-proof movies they inhabit. Top that off with emerging election year movies, and enter Grassroots. |
