Review of Slacker Uprising

6/10
To Little, too Late

I came across this movie when I heard that it was available for free on iTunes. So I downloaded it. I watched about 1/3 of it, but never finished it. I finally got through and finished it yesterday, and here's what I think. It sucked. It falls under the categories of "pointless" and "liberal propaganda" It would be one thing if Moore presented the facts on both sides, and let you choose, but he's so obviously biased towards the left that the movie fails to be a documentary, more of a sweaty fat man's rant. Oh, and wasn't it just amazing how at every college he went to, he was wearing a shirt and/or hat of that college? Gee, way to play to the crowd. There were some funny moments, like when he created funny campaign ads that were in silly ways anti-Kerry. And whenever the counter-protesters showed up, the crowds reaction and Moore's were good. But that's just about all that was good about this movie. It was edited well, and had a pretty good soundtrack (You get to hear Eddie Veder, Tom Morrello, among others). What really disturbed me is one man in the movie gave Moore his dead uncle's Bronze Star.

If anyone has seen "Team America World Police", I love that description of Moore. It's pretty much just like it.
