Strong and Moving!

Lack of good storyline.

hyped garbage

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's admirable what these guys are doing, I fully understand their message and find their methods comical. The trouble is I just don't see this as entertainment or at least not the way it has been presented here.These anti-corporate activists show the world what goes on behind closed doors and demonstrate how little these organisations care about the little man through shocking disgusting presentations designed to appal but instead get little reaction or even approval.Again I understand I really do and I even get how this managed two sequels but from an entertainment stand point this simply doesn't have it.I hope these guys continue their crusade and it would be a great to think they're at least raising awareness but I'll not be partaking in any more of their works.The Good: The message The Bad: The execution They simply aren't likable Lack of entertainment value Things I learnt from this movie:Nothing that I didn't know already

These two guys are just the kind of political activists we need today. They show how every person can fight for justice and even go up against enormous corporations if you plan a careful and clever strategy using dark humor as your main weapon. What's really amazing is that they're small-town filmmakers from upstate NY who have pulled off a movie that's much better than most of the stuff Hollywood churns out.Though this is an older film, it's still one of the funniest and most satisfying documentaries you'll ever enjoy. You won't believe the stunts they get away with--and you'll be rooting for them every step of the way.You can even check it out for free now on Hulu.com.

This movie made a very important point with great humor about how corporations are destroying our country in the name of greed.Yes Men is great candidate for showing in high schools and colleges so that students can understand how harmful globalization is without boring them to tears.. Education shouldn't have to be painful.Mike Bonanno and Andy Bichlbaum, two very smart guys, spent a lot of time and energy and money to get their point across. Who cares if the audiences are not "high level"? This isn't an "in depth" documentary so if that's what you expect you will be disappointed. It's a hilarious documentary of a couple of ballsy buys who wanted to make a difference by getting their point across and having some laughs. The fact that they don't go IN DEPTH is what makes it perfect for the classroom. There is lots and lots of room for discussion and it's this discussion that raises awareness of the hypocrisy of corporations and their greed. For those writing thesis on how bad and shallow this film is, perhaps they should lighten up and not take themselves so seriously.

It's "Jackass" meets "The Awful Truth"--the Michael Moore television show, not the Cary Grant/Irene Dunn farce. Two pranksters who want to make the WTO look foolish, go around the world speaking at small engagements--a CPA conference in Australia, a college classroom--pretending to be reps of the WTO. They present outlandish presentations that are meant to shine light on the injustice of the trade organization.The documentary, unfortunately, does not really tell us why the WTO is evil so the pranks never feel justified. The pranksters are reluctant and soft-spoken and make themselves look more foolish than the WTO. For instance, when speaking to the college students, the pranksters present a WTO-endorsed plan to recycle human waste and turn it into to hamburgers. This is supposed to make the WTO look bad, but really just invites ridicule toward the speakers.Has the WTO actually planned on feeding reconstituted human waste to people? Of course not, so the satire does not work. Satire is truth caricatured in order to critique, but the object of ridicule in the film--the WTO--is never really explained or defined. As a result, the pranks are aimless and fail completely as satire.Skip this one. The good blurbs on the cover are inexplicable. It reminds me of the critical praise given to "Bulworth" and "Dogma," both poorly directed, but praised because critics supported the message of the films.Read more at http://solipsisticblog.blogspot.com/.
