Also, I'll take reviews from legitimate film reviewers (like the New York Times, the International Federation of Film Critics) film reviews more seriously than the Newsday clown's so-called reviews any day, DougR. Cannes is a notoriously apolitical film event, and the overall critical response to this film is that it is Moore's masterpiece.

You do know that Moore's film style for which he is now quite famous, is to use the documentary film genre as political satire, and not just straight documentary, don't you DougR? That is what makes his work rise to the level it does on artistic merit, not his politics.

But it is clear the current American political right just doesn't get political satire and political parody. They have absolutely no sense of humor, and are completely incapable of laughing at themselves. Which is why they are so busy trying to censor all of it, by claiming that any satires or parodies of Bush/Cheney goes "too far".
