I rented this one last night, because I thought a story that revolved around the assassination of George W sounded intriguing. Unfortunately this was presented as a documentary of something that actually happened and as a fictional story telling device it didn't work. I got about an hour through it before it became too boring to watch. Mockumentrys usually work because they have plenty of laughs and/or action to keep them moving along, but this " dramamentry" didn't have anything to help me suspend disbelief, it was just a bunch of talking heads raving on about something that never happened. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Pseudo-documentaries can work very well.  I remember one a long time ago that dealt with a nuclear bomb going off (I don't remember much more than this because it was a long time ago).  The movie was so realistic that many people sought counseling after seeing it.

'Every Since The World Ended' was another good documentary (IMHO) about a small group of people surviving ten years after a disease wiped out most of the planet.

I realized after posting the clip that it really doesn't sum up the song well enough. The song says that "You've got the right to do whatever you want, even kill the President."

Has anyone else seen Assassins? I love it.
