Ann Richards' Texas Review

                         If you are even slightly aware of what was happening in the world in the early-middle 90's..you were aware of who Ann Richards was. She had potential to change the world if she was in office for just a bit longer than four years. However, she got run out of office in a race with George W. Bush which she lost. But what I am rambling on about this for? You should already know this and if you don't..go see this film. If you do...still go see this film because it is truly one of the most well made documentaries I have ever seen.

                         Even as someone who does not like politics...I find Richards to be one of the most interesting people of our time and I find her to be very, very funny. The film combines rare footage with clips from TV shows and movies and an incredibly animated opening credits sequence. As the film progresses..just about anyone will find themselves both learning more and being fascinated...no matter how much they know about Richards.

                         Richards was an amazing person, and we get plenty of peoples' perspectives on that here. People such as Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Bill Clinton are thrown in for interviews and all do a fantastic job. The fun of watching these people is that they all either knew or were influenced by Richards in some way. Sometimes they were both simultaneously.

                          Ann Richards' Texas is a joy to watch. It is funny, informative and extremely interesting. Directors Jack Lofton and Keith Patterson do a great job at keeping the flow going and the film moving. I promise anyone who sees this film will enjoy it.
(5 out of 5 Stars,The film is not rated but is equivalent to a PG for brief suggestive content...so go take everyone to see it..it's great)
