After revealing just what a diet of Big Macs can do to a person, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock takes a tongue-in-cheek look at another threat to our collective well-being in this witty documentary from the maker of Super Size Me. When Spurlock learns that he and his wife are expecting a baby, he decides that he wants the child to grow up in a safer world than we know today, so he takes it upon himself to track down the most dangerous man on Earth, Osama bin Laden. Spurlock hops on a plane and flies to the Middle East in search of his quarry, making stops in Egypt, Morocco, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan as he keeps an eye peeled for the head of Al Qaeda. When he isn't playing sleuth, Spurlock interviews people representing all walks of life, ranging from Orthodox Israeli enclaves and a mosque operated by rabidly anti-American Muslims to political moderates and ordinary folks at the supermarket, quizzing them about the nature of post-9/11 conflict and the need for peace. Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? received its world premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This was a good movie, thoughtfully done. You can tell Morgan Spurlock is a good hearted person and shows both sides of issues without being a jerk like some other doc. film makers. The ending was a little duddy but to see people around the world that feel just like we do is refreshing. The Hasidic Jews and the Saudis were the WORST! If you are looking to this movie for laughs, you are a goober.

    A very different movie that definitely makes a person think about people all over the world and how they basically think about things just as we do. The tittle is a little misleading, and for those reviewers who though the whole purpose of the movie was to find Bin Laden, well, those folks just didn't get it. A good watch when you want something other than super heroes, guns blazing and car chases.

    Yes   |   No

    This movie really puts our relationship with the middle east in a new perspective and makes some really great points! The movie is so exciting it just flew by!
