I guess, according to left wingers like these critics, any movie that makes fun of michael moore and the left can't be funny. I think I'll go see it.

This is a must see and a national review rating was 4 1/2 stars out of five. Shows you the quality of our local reviewers.

When I emailed him about his rave review of a previous Roger,uh, M. Moore movie he blasted me and called me names, ala' Fox News junkie. Hey I don't even own a TV. Yet another reason not to subscribe to the Slantonal.

Roger more sucks.

Isn't the NAtional review a Conservative magazine? Hmm. If so, their review is even going to be more bias than your run of themill movie critic.

You are SO predictable. I knew the review would be negative before I even read it. And maybe the movie is a dog, but keep your politcal views out of the review. Everything Michael Moore does is 5 stars and I am sure the new Oliver Stone movie will also be "one of the best movies of the year!" Get your facts straight, conservatives are not against "stem cell" research. We just draw the line at "EMBRYONIC stem cell research". And crippled children get good health care every day free of charge. No hospital or doctor ever turns their back on a sick child.

Looks like R. Moore was more interested in giving his opinion of the politics than actually reviewing the movie. Not surprising.

So, Roger how was the movie?

Unfortunately, our FL Times Union in Jacksonville prints R. Moore's crummy reviews having sent our own film critic to the Food section or somewhere like that. Thankfully, this pathetically biased "review" didn't make it into the T.U. this week. I plan to happily hand over my $8 tomorrow. Can't wait to see American Carol!

"And crippled children get good health care every day free of charge. No hospital or doctor ever turns their back on a sick child."
Yeah, if they want to wait in the emergency room for 5-15 hours. And if a sick child has no health insurance, how are their parents supposed to pay for their care, not just for one visit, but for every yearly visit a kid needs to be healthy for their entire adolescent life? And what about small health problems - just wait another 10 hours in the emergency room every time they have a cut, need a shot, have a fever, have a cold?
Or is that only for "crippled children"?
You people are just crazy. You can only think in one linear direction. Frankly, I give you all some credit for being able to ignore fact and suspend disbelief so readily and willingly.

One of the happiest days of my life? Still makes me grin like the Cheshire Cat?

The day I cancelled my subscription to this waste-of-a-dead-tree "news"paper.

Yup. I believe he gave the Bill Maher movie 4 stars. I usually find that if he hatges a movie, I like it, and vice versa.

This movie specifically advertises itself on the radio as being offensive to liberals. It's painfully obvious that this movie critic is a bleeding heart liberal who was very offended by the movie. This critic wouldn't know the meaning of satire if it smacked him in the face. All the more reason to go see the movie!
