I’m adopted and I can’t wait to see this film. Seriously, Michelle Bachmann should worry about promoting adoption instead of looking trite and silly for boycotting a film. Boycotting a film only draws attention to it and makes more people want to see it. Haven’t they learned this by now?

There have been plenty of movies about evil “natural” children. What a waste of Congress-peoples time. If you object to a movie, that’s fine. Don’t watch it!
Don’t try to make that choice for me!!!
Congress desperately needs to focus on the real problems that we face.
Perhaps they could spend a few minutes of their personal time to look up the meaning of FICTION.

This is ridiculous. I remember the days when every character in every movie wasn’t pre-supposed to be speaking as a representative of their race/social class, etc. This movie is nto a generalization about orphans, Sharon Stone and her ice pick were not a generalization abotu lesbians, Psycho was not a generalization about white men who have lost their mothers.

Good Job Jim,

I also find myself occasionally noting that Bachmann isn’t 100% wrong and it always makes me a little uneasy.

As a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, I have to say: while not retreating an inch from the general proposition that Bachmann is as crazy as a rat in a coffee can, even a blind pig will turn up an acorn now and then.

Her objection to this is no less arguably legitimate than numerous objections I’ve seen folks from our side of the fence raise about various cultural artifacts. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. (If I can think of any other relevant folksy aphorisms, I’ll send them along later.)

It’s a MOVIE!!!!!!! NOT real. If this is what she wants to run on, so be it.

While there are more important things for Congress to do than jousting with artists exercising freedom of expression, at least Rep. Bachmann is on something reality-based. Better than her Census paranoia

So if there is no difference, why does Bachmann never pass up an opportunity to draw a distinction between her “five biological children and 23 foster children?”
