"Moore's many good points are ruined by him being in front of the camera and dictating too much, as well as his awful harassment of Charleston Heston (RIP) at the end. Fortunately he's done better since."

"It's not exactly a scientific analysis, but it does make you think."

"THATS NOT EVEN A FUNNY MOVIE,,,"

Additional Information

Michael Moore's superb documentary (following in the footsteps of Roger & Me and The Big One) tackles a meaty subject: gun control. Moore skillfully lays out arguments surrounding the issue and short-circuits them all, leaving one impossible question: why do Americans kill each other more often than people in any other democratic nation? Moore focuses his quest around the shootings at Columbine High School and the shooting of one 6-year-old by another near his own hometown of Flint, Michigan. By approaching the headquarters of K-Mart (where the Columbine shooters bought their ammo) and going to Charlton Heston's own home, Moore demands accountability from the forces that support unrestricted gun sales in the U.S. His arguments are conducted with the humor and empathy that have made Moore more than just a gadfly; he's become a genuine voice of reason in a world driven by fear and greed. --Bret Fetzer - Amazon.com
