After General Motors closes its factory in Flint, Michigan, eliminating 35,000 jobs, filmmaker Roger Moore undertakes a quixotic quest to interview General Motors' chairman, Roger Smith ... and along the way captures an offbeat, comic view of the seedy underside of corporate America.

Bruce C. Steele

[Michael Moore] made his point by making a terrifically enjoyable, provocative film. Beyond that, he couldn't care less what anyone else thinks.

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews

Dennis Schwartz

Rails against corporate greed and asks what happened to the American Dream and its promise of middle-class prosperity.

The film itself remains a hard kick in the head-a funny, angry inquiry into what the hell happened to the American dream.

Michael Moore's film is intelligent, funny, in-depth, and touching, all executed with a gripping hands-on approach to the material that helps engage the audience more than you're standard talking heads documentary.

Despite some tempering with the chronological sequence of events, this is a scathingly biting satire of Reagonomics that captures the zeitgeist of the late 1980s much more poignantly than most Hollywood movies.

Common Sense Says

Moore's first documentary is best for teens and up.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this documentary addresses the economic downfall of Flint, Michigan, after General Motors laid off 30,000 employees. Bad language and violence are limited, the movie does include footage of crimes and of numerous families being evicted from their homes. People frankly express their economic desperation.
