Movie Reviews

Urban Cinefile - 5/10 by Andrew L. UrbanThe naïve clarity of the bias makes the film a bit more fun to watch, as Dan Cox takes the baseball to Arnie' image and his persona with a relish
Los Angeles Daily News - 5/10 by Bob StraussThis is a would-be hatchet job that's too petty to cut past the Governator's protective beefcake.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Kevin CrustPerfectly in tone with election season, Dan Cox's documentary plays like a 30-second political attack ad (at 144 times the length), rehashing the accusations that have been bouncing off the Austrian-born movie star for years.
User Review - 8/10 by Luke BTrue, it's hardly objectionable in its presentation of Arnie but it is superbly put together and damn entertaining to boot. Malicious and pointed it's almost like a Heat expose on the big man. Alex Baldwin delivers his voiceover with unveiled glee, obviously not a fan of the film's focus and it shows. Delightfully one-sided!
User Review - 6/10 by Steve Sa kind of interesting documentary about the "governator", but i can't help but think this was made by either a hardcore democrat, or a gray davis supporter. it really did point out some obvious conspiracy and backpeddling arnold had done and said since becoming governor.
User Review - 6/10 by Shaun BAn interesting (though very one-sided) documentary.
User Review - 6/10 by Isa SNot very strong from a documentary stand point. Obviously biased against Arnold with a quick apology at the end, yet keeps making assumptions rather than digging deep for what problems are actually there. Still, lots of funny Arnold related humor. Entertaining, but not great.
User Review - 6/10 by Adam MComparing Arnold to Hitler... that's a little much.
User Review - 6/10 by Tijn JNarrated by Alec Baldwin. Former Variety Film Editor Dan Cox goes after his subject as only an award-winning journalist can in the hotly anticipated, politically charged documentary Running With Arnold. Through interviews, archival footage and comic satire from the likes of Bill Maher and Rob Schneider, Cox tells the story of one of the most recognizable men of our era. In this detailed political portrait, we learn of how a once skinny farm boy growing up in post-World War II Austria and only barely speaking English went on to become a mega-muscled, mega-star and megalomaniac living the high-life in Hollywood. Cox's endless sources and nose for the news reveals what Schwarzenegger's camp couldn't keep hidden - about his sex life, his ego and his deceptions. Even with the help of infamous Hollywood snoop Anthony Pellicano. Arnold's ambition and cunning can be admirable. In his political ascent, he has become the epitome of The American Dream in well-tailored Armani suits. But there is a sordid side to his glory. With the Governator in charge of the world's fifth largest economy and a looming big to amend the Constitution to allow for his campaign for the Presidency, Arnold is one of the most subversively powerful men in America. Or at least he thinks he is. The way Arnold sees it, if he wants it, then he gets it. Or at least he should. Now is the time to decide for yourself if intimidation, broken promises, lies, half truths and a "hands on" approach to women are as acceptable as they are expected in today's American politicos. While you're at it, revel in the kitsch of the perma-tanned muscle man's dazzle as he brings the circus campaign to town.
User Review - 6/10 by Amanda VThe actual movie I saw was "How Arnold won the West" directed by Alex Cooke but I couldn't find it here on Flixster! Similar idea - a documentary on Arnold's race to be Governor of California. I thought he was voted in for his star power (and he kinda was) but the Republican conspiracy to place him there as a 'puppet' was a real eye opener! I can't believe how messed up the American gov't is!!
