Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
A serious health scare ignites John Thomas, an insurance salesman in his 50s, to take a closer look at his life. Motivated by a misguided obsession with getting Barack Obama elected, John takes an overwhelming involvement in the Presidential campaign. While John becomes obsessed with the ideal of change that Obama represents for Americans, he has in turn neglected to create positive change in his own life, particularly with regard to his health and familial relationships. John hides his health problems from his strong, yet supportive wife, Molly, creating a strain on their marriage. John seeks the support of a Republican relative, MLK, who initially starkly resists supporting a Democratic candidate. John's son, Kalil, rebels against his father's avid support of Obama by supporting the Republican candidate as well. John neglects to support his daughter, Tamika, at a crucial moment in her life, as she has recently fallen in love and become engaged to be married. John faces additional discord with his other son, Jamel, an up-and-coming boxer, who gets mixed up with a shady manager, Slim, as he rises toward a professional boxing career. Joshua, John's recently-paroled brother, also struggles as he attempts to find work in a tough economy and to maintain his new marriage. When Molly discovers that John has been hiding his health scares from her, she urges him to take positive action to improve his bad habits. John works to get back on the right path with his health and family as Obama soars to success in the campaign.
Leave your thoughts about The Obama Effect.
| User ReviewSandra FYes, I want to see this movie. I' m a big fan of President Obama. |
| User ReviewTrish GThe Obama Effect is a solid film. It not only recaptures one of the greatest periods in U.S. history, it also takes a solid look at what life was like for one man. Some of the post on here appear to be from people who have not seen the film. See the film and be rewarded with a good experience whether democrat or republican. |
| User ReviewDONNIE BA deeper story line than the title suggests. See it for the acting and story. Don't let partisan politics get in the way of a good time. |
| User ReviewDerrian GI was truly shocked on how good this movie was. The movie has great acting, good script, lots of heart, its very engaging, and above all it triggers a emotional connection. Katt Williams can definitely do drama. Charles S. Dutton aka Roc does it again. He makes you laugh, cheer and fall in love with the story. I had low expectations, cause of the lack of advertising, and I understand why - ITS NOT FOR EVERYBODY, BUT FOR WHO ITS FOR...ITS GREAT!!! I'm telling everybody to see this movie. I love the energy that I felt amongst the crowd as we exited the theater - It a feeling that I won't soon forget :) |
| User ReviewDaniel HWho's to blame for this atrocity, this obvious attempt to get out the black vote for Obama. Obama and his minions obviously have a very low opinion of African Americans. |
