From Library Journal
Because Christensen is content to stitch together plot summaries with uncontroversial received opinion, his chronological survey of more or less overtly political Hollywood movies is pretty lightweight and tedious, despite the fact that the author is a political scientist. The bibliography's lack of references to works of political theory or the large body of politically oriented film criticism partially explains the book's weakness. In addition, however, the text needs more of an argued point of view and a clearer sense of its audience. This tells us much less about ourselves than it might. Marshall Deutelbaum, Purdue Univ., W. Lafayette, Ind.
