I surprisingly really enjoyed this one. Filmmaker Michael Wilson spends most the movie showing us what Michael Moore omitted in the original films and attempts to get an interview with Moore to let him explain his actions.

I think that if you liked Spellbound, Capturing the Friedmans or Super Size Me, you wont regret the time spent seeing this flick.

Hopefully this film makes it to a city near you.

***Possible Spoilers***
Wilson re-interviews many people from Bowling for Columbine & Fahrenheit 911. You re-visit the bank from BfC and the banker talks about how Moore lied about the interview.

A great moment is when Wilson takes to Canada and checks to see if doors are really unlocked like in BfC, the results are entertaining.

I like that the movie doesn’t have any apparent Bush support segments or political motivations, it just sets out to pick apart some Moore moments and tries to convince the audience that you can't take Moore at his word.

(Another film that really wont convince anyone of anything. You have your opinions going & and they will either feed your thoughts or just be played off as another liar.)

Remember to be careful what you post here, everybody. ANY comments that can be viewed as political WILL be removed from your post(s). Nate did a good job in his review and I suggest looking to his post as an example.

Also, there is no need to come on here and state your displeasure/support of Michael Moore. Nobody cares what you personally think of him. Instead, review the "film" if you can.

Good luck.

My brother knows the guy who made this movie. I'm glad to see he got the project finished. Unfortunately we did not get this movie, but instead got Celcius 41.11, which is more politically oriented as a rebuttle to Fahrenheit 911.
