The BBC reviewed the film by asking two viewers with differing opinions to share their thoughts.
telegraph.co.uk says the film is flawed but has an undeniable energy. This critique is demonstrated here:
In this film, there's less of him waddling around in his baseball cap and check shirt, coming up with his trademark stunts. Those he tries - such as driving around Washington in an ice-cream van while reading aloud the Patriot Act through a loudhailer - are pretty half-hearted.
This isn't the only time in the film when one feels uncomfortable or embarrassed. Moore routinely uses black Americans as symbols of authenticity, argument clinchers. Against that, he portrays almost all Middle Eastern people as potential terrorists, a tendency that has led to the widespread - and here uncommented on - detention of Arabs across the States. During his dissection of the Florida election results, he neglects to mention that he himself backed Ralph Nader over Al Gore.
The review from Sky News makes me wonder if they even watched the movie.
The Scotsman possibly has the same review as the Sky Review.
The Times London gives the movie two out of five stars and claims it is a black comedy.
Ireland Online ponders whether Michael Moore will make a movie about PM Blair.
