I think they released the movie far too early. If they had cranked it out in late September the message would still be on people's mind and it also wouldn't have given them so much time to make a bogus flick for the other side. It would have also added to what in hindsight now looks like near-hysteria leading up to the election.
The Republicans are just as good as Hollywood at telling a story. They brilliantly made the draft-dodgers look like better soldiers than the guy who actually went to Viet Nam. I still shake my head at that one.
