...cliché wrapped in a stereotype, with the entire endeavor ultimately resting on the filmmakers’ belief that their audience will swallow the movie with the unthinking ardor of a sumo wrestler breaking fast at a sushi bar.

Schraa’s article shows a complete lack of understanding of Forte! She misrepresents everything from how the performers were chosen to the Sanders ticketing policy, depicting it all as being controlled by Summers’ strings. This was not a review, so much as a personal rant against President Summers and the administration.
