Whether you love him or hate him (because there really is no in between) you have to admit that Michael Moore is a talented, funny and persuasive filmmaker.  In the midst of the 2004 presidential election Moore dropped a bomb on the George W. Bush campaign that would go down as the #1 box office documentary of all time, Fahrenheit 9/11.  Unfortunately for us and the entire planet I suppose, Bush still won but this film hurt his campaign about as much as any movie could have this side of a secret sex tape starring Bush, Condoleezza Rice and hell, let’s throw in Cheney for a giggle.   

The way Moore put this movie together isn’t new territory for him.  There is a lot of himself, funny montages and interviews from people who have been personally affected by the war.  It really is an indictment on the entire presidency up to that point.  Besides the war in Iraq, Moore dives deep into how Bush stole the election in the first place against Gore.  The film really is funny and George W provides a lot of the laughs.  In the end though, it serves its purpose.  When the closing credits roll, you are really angry at the president and pretty much everyone who works for him.  It’s now four years later and we’re still stuck out there fighting with no real light at the end of the tunnel.  Moore is a guy you want on your side, that’s why those who are on the other side hate him so dearly.  None the less, it’s too bad they didn’t listen to him during the last election.
