This may be Michael Moore's best and most objective film and brings up many issues our culture needs to face so we can move on and re-strengthen our nation. I think he provides a good role-model as seen above because he questions the motives of people in and around the government with detachment from any organization other than a citizen determined to make the best choice when voting. Really that's the responsibility of every American citizen: you get to control the government, but you need to know what you're doing. This movie also points out that the opportunity to become the ruling class should not outweigh the strength and unity of a group or nation working together to reach a common goal. Though some of his tactics (or stunts) can be crass from time to time he's only doing so to make a point. I would say that HE himself should be no one's guide to what they believe (I wish he would say that...). Everyone should come up with their own theories and decide on which ideas they support for themselves. But some of the facts he points out are nice to know on the journey to our own opinions. J. F.

Everything here is praising democrats. He makes up things they did wrong as good, and vice versa for republicans. He provides no chart, facts, videos, anything. Just made up things he finds funny to plague a young child's mind.

Well it's the latest from Moore. Before seeing the film I got the impression that this was intended as a "magnum opus," the culmination of 20 years of investigative documentaries on everything from depressed Rust Belt towns to America's foreign policy to health care. I was hoping for a serious, factual discussion of economics and the history of economic theory. Unfortunately, Moore decided to fall back on his tried-and-true knee jerk tactics, mainly non-sequiturs and tangential arguments. Kids watching this need to keep in mind that there is a definite ideological bent to the story, and that they should view this from an objective standpoint. It's actually quite a disappointment, mainly because a film about this topic could have been made so much better. You'd need to spend more time discussing background knowledge, the history of the American and world economy, and such. There's nothing particularly lewd or age-inappropriate here, but parents' concerns over the film's objectivity are very valid. If you are interested in a more rigorous and honest look at inequality and capitalist excesses, a good book to read would be Paul Krugman's THE CONSCIENCE OF A LIBERAL. He admits his views ahead of time and backs up his analysis with plenty of background info and statistical evidence. It's too bad that Krugman didn't turn his book into a movie, because it would have been just what the doctor ordered.
