July 18, 2008Well I like the chicks and their music and I just never seen the movie so I decided to watch. Not a bad one, cause it's a documentary, and that aint my cup of tea.
But good, eye opening you could say. -
August 6, 2007I had no idea how much of an effect Natalie's comments had on the band. Dixie Chicks are the only country and western band I will listen to.

March 14, 2007Shut up and Sing is telling social document that explores the cost of free speech in the age of propaganda post 9/11. Everyone knows by now about the Dixie Chicks comment, and they know of the controversy that it brought them. Whether you care for the Dixie Chicks music or not ...( read more)

March 16, 2008I like documentaries that observe rather than comment, as this one does. The nonlinearity adds to understanding the emotional turmoil the band goes through and makes this a very compelling documentary. The moment when they prepare for the Dallas concert after having received a d...( read more)

June 18, 2009I am not a Dixie Chicks fan per say but I really enjoyed this film. I like the fact that they speak their minds and they accept all the backlash that they receive from it. Not to many groups especially a female group can do a documentary where they tell it like it is.

April 16, 2009Get the facts straight, and quit hating on them. Shut up & watch this movie!

January 19, 2009SHUT UP & SING is an impassioned, politically informed documentary about the Dixie Chicks' run-in with country music radio and fans. The film traces the backlash against the Chicks following singer Natalie Maines' now-infamous declaration at a London concert on March 10, 2003: "J...( read more)

November 28, 2008Wasn't planning on watching this, as I'm not a country music fan. Although towards the finale they'd actually written more soft rock music. Glad I watched! It really opened my eyes even more about the hypocrisy in this nation. Kudos to them for standing up for what they said. I s...( read more)

July 15, 2008I REALLY don't like country music, at all, but the Dixie Chicks, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, all have very nice voices. I don't know if a single one of them can play an instrument, but they all sing very well, I just don't agree with their choice of music.
With that said, George Bush is not so arguably the worst president in the history of the US presidency, and at a minimum he is the worst speech giving president... OF ALL TIME!!!
Clearly, country music is a far worse choice than criticizing this douche of a president!
I admire them, I admire them for spitting in the eye of the dragon! GO DIXIE CHICKS!!! -

October 21, 2007To be brutally honest, I am on the Dixie Chicks side. They got screwed, and for someone to say that its alright for freedom of speech is alright as long as they don't say it in public. Seriously needs to rethink their views on the situation. GO DIXIE CHICKS!

October 28, 2006I just saw a preview for this today, saying it was coming soon. Is it already out in America?
