As humour and irony goes, Michael Moore hit this right on the nose. However, I was taught that you need access to make a story, something that Moore lacked in this documentary.
Instead of his original goal to get Roger Smith to come down to Flint to see the destruction he caused, the story just became a wild goose chase.
I will give credit to Moore for interviewing victims of the unemployeed and the evictor kicking people out of their homes but to me, it felt like random story tangents to fill in the hour and 31 minutes of film. Too much opinioned segments and not enough facts. Some story tangents were too long and unnecessary. For example, the color analyst and the rabbit slaying owner. Seeing the rabbits head getting chopped off was too much.
Nevertheless, it was entertaining. But just like his other work such as Fahrenheit 911, it started out entertaining and funny, but went downhill halfway through with a very anti-climatic ending leaving a bitter taste in mouth.
Overall good, consistent comments
