Whatever its intent, this interminable 96-minute highlight reel plays like Moore's homage to himself.

Moore's studentmobilization drive now looks prescient, but he should have kept this piece of wallpaper agitprop on the shelf.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

...this repetitious and self-indulgent hodgepodge comes across as a nostalgia-drenched vanity project, with far too much footage of various celebs at assorted gatherings introing Moore as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Rotten
Captain Mike Across America is a shameless act of self-promotion even for a shameless self-promoter like Moore.
