A must see, if your sick of all the Hollywwod propaganda movies like I am, than you'll love this movie.So close to real life that unfortunately makes it even funnier.

Well, by golly, who didn't absolutely love Airplane? Only out-of touch, liberal elitists, of course. This is the best, most honest satire you'll ever see, but sometimes honesty can be painful for ...

Well, by golly, who didn't absolutely love Airplane? Only out-of touch, liberal elitists, of course. This is the best, most honest satire you'll ever see, but sometimes honesty can be painful for some people. Hey lighten up Michael B. Laugh a little!

An exquisite movie for those of all political stripes. It has a strong pro-military, pro-America message, but that does not distract from its hilarity in any way. Great fun!

With David Zucker and Leslie Nielson, I expected another great comedy mocking other movies (I like them, but my wife hates them). This one was a real dissappointment. I am not a Democrat, but even I was insulted by the constant barrage of "Michael Moore hates America" messages. You can trash him, or criticize the movies he makes, but even the harshest critic, if he's being honest, doesn't believe Michael Moore supports the terrorists. Kevin Farley looks amazingly like his brother Chris, but does an absolutely terrible job of acting: totally amateur, and it detracts from the movie. Kelsey Grammer is excellent, but cannot save it. There are a few funny moments to be sure, and a patriotically emotional moment toward the end with a 9/11 reference. The concept is fine, and welcomed by many, but the writing is middle-school level, and misses the mark so badly that most viewers, regardless of their own opinion of Michael Moore, will walk away thinking, "This movie is just stupid."

I rented this movie because it was directed by David Zucker (Airplane, Naked Gun) and a had long list of big name actors like Dennis Hopper, Jon Voight and James Woods to name a few. Much to my dissapointment, it wasn't even close to being funny. It turned out to be nothing more than tedious, repetative anti-Michael Moore propaganda. Political views aside, this movie was ridiculous, boring and poorly acted.

With all the big names in this one, you'd expect a funny movie. It wasn't, there were a couple of giggle moments, but could've been much better.

The movie had a great premise but turned to slapstick. It was very silly.
