Heartfelt, moving, inspiring!I found this film to be wonderful - respectful - and life affirming all at the same time - the reporters - a group of people with so much heart and verve for life that you cannot help but learn from them "what's your biggest dream?" is about the most profound and elemental question known to humankind - and these reporters dare to ask.Kudos to everyone involved - if you've ever felt like an "other" and outsider, or someone behind the glass - watch this film and then join all of us - each person striving to be, do, learn and become - the best the can.What's not to love - the people driven to realize the film - the reporters on a quest to explore America - they each have a valuable mission - to become themselves by interacting with others, where they will learn. As cheesy as the story could have been, it wasn't - nor clichéd - which of us on this planet has not a single quality which stands in our way? We are all coping as well as we are able - and my favorite feeling at the end wasn't just for what the entire group accomplished - but how the film reflected some aspect of the viewer - whether they were looking or not.

I have seen this film so many times I have lost count. I remember one time, when I was watching it with some girls who I was hanging out with from this class I was in at the time, we were about a fourth or a third of the way through the film and one of them had to use the bathroom. We paused the film, and then one of them was silent for a bit and then turned to me and said in all sincerity, "This is going to be one of those films where there is my life before and then there is my life after, isn't it?" I knew that I adored the film, but I was never able to verbalize its importance until she said that. Now, that is entirely how I describe the film to people who haven't seen it, and yes, everyone who has seen it that pitch has agreed with me afterwards, this is indeed just that type of movie.There are people who claim that the movie is exploitative of the handicapped cast, but if that was true then how come the entire cast and their families and friends and co-workers and camp staff fully endorse the movie 100%? The a-holes who think the movie is exploitative believe that the handicapped and mentally challenged individuals in society should be "protected" and that they should be kept out of the public eye where they might possibly be teased (they think that they should just stay in their houses, away from where they can mix with society, and that they shouldn't be allowed to experience life like "normal" people).See, in How's Your News, they constantly put the handicapped and mentally challenged right in "normal" people's faces in the public. This is where the movie shines because people have to then deal with the handicapped, whether they become uncomfortable, laugh, cry, get depressed, whatever--the point is that they have to deal with the handicapped people that the "normal" people in society would often like to forget even exist.The handicapped and mentally challenged cast in this film challenge social norms and affect the people's lives that they encounter along their roadtrip. Many people become uncomfortable, some get to re-examine their lives spurred on by the cast's innocent questions, some smile, others are rude, some get angry, and others become utterly confused. But whatever the case, the people in the documentary have to deal with them because they are right in their face, and they have to acknowledge that the handicapped and mentally challenged are people too (and if they don't, honestly they just look like a-holes).The people who think that the handicapped and mentally challenged should stay "protected" in their houses while being separated from society are the true bigots. Once you see this movie, you will understand, it is hilarious, heartwarming, and well-made--see this film!NOTE: Yes, the very first time you see it, it is absolutely normal to be uncomfortable for the first 10 to 15 minutes (20 for some, even). But trust me, stick it out because this film will change your life. I can't recommend this film enough.

Let me preface this by saying that I rarely get high. Therefore, the views portrayed in this comment may be biased.That said, on the particular day that I watched How's Your News, I was high. I had, in fact, recently participated in the "high-ing" event, and walked into a house that was playing this movie. I promptly sat down, and spent the next half hour trying to determine whether this was, in fact, real, or simply some type of Matt Stone and Trey Parker joke. Ironically, it was both. So, let's put it this way: Are you looking for humor that goes far beyond the boundaries of what even the creators of South Park could deem fictionalized? Do you fantasize about jokes that involve people in wheel chairs or with IQ's below 20? Have you ever had the need to laugh at a hippie that, through his own ignorance, herded up a group of physically and developmentally disabled adults, got them on a van, and paraded them to America as some sort of therapeutic exercise? Well, then, you've found your dream movie. Somehow, Matt Stone and Trey Parker learned of a guy that, at some rich Northeastern summer camp for the mentally and physically challenged, had his clients run a grass roots news show. So, he handed a guy with down syndrome a microphone, had him walk up to unsuspecting folks, and ask them anything that came to mind.Yes, there are some touching moments in the movie. And, since it is Matt Stone and Trey Parker, they really do capture important points about how people treat and even try to avoid mentally or physically disabled citizens. But the meat of the comedic attempt is that, for a group of guys that cartooned Ben Afflick jerking off a 10-year-old, even THEY couldn't make something up like this and get away with it. So, they funded this guy to take his top group and travel from the Northeast all the way to the land of people that could only compare to their oddness: Venice Beach.You'll get hymnals. A man with severe cerebral palsy being left in wheel chairs on the streets of New York with nothing but a microphone and a "please talk to me" sign. Show tunes. And, ultimately, psychics paid for palm readings by people that can't even form full sentences.If you need to come up with some heart warming story of why this movie really touched you personally, by all means, do so. There really are important points to be made. But those points are made, as Matt Stone and Trey Parker often do, through the completely politically incorrect humor of it all. Rent it. Laugh your butt off. Then, when the guy at the party talks about how "Chuck and Buck" or "Happiness", or even "Gummo" was the most shocking thing he'd ever seen, you can tell them this...ever see a developmentally disabled adult question a high farm worker about the Fonz? I have.

Not to be missed. A wonderful story told in an original way. Arthur Bradford has created something special here. This is the most honest documentary I believe I've ever seen.
