    Saw it today, its quite good. Not very shocking though as I knew it all about the health care in US before. Although, he does paint a bit of the 'grass is always greener'.

    I've been following this in youtube as well, funny stuff watching him go ape**** at the CNN guy. Its only right though, they should be pushing the politicians for answers to the tough questions rather than just dismissing the whistleblowers. Where is the film being shown? I dont see it in the liffeyvalley listings.

    It's not out here - it's in the U.S. Other posters could have seen it there or by other means. I can't find a release date for it on IMDB but I'd be very surprised if it didn't get a theatrical release here.

    say this a few days ago in Chicago, very good IMO. Moore certainley seems to have found his Niche.. educating Americans about what could be so much better in their country but instead copletley sucks. The comparisons he does with other countries (in this case France, England and...Cuba!!) should prove quite eye opening to some yanks also, then again Bush won by a landslide post Faranheit 9/11.

    Hilldog comes off well in this though

    With Fahrenheit 9/11, the vast majority of the viewers didnt have the voting power and the people with the voting power were anti-Moore so they didnt bother with the film so i wouldnt draw too much from the election outcome.

    Saw this one last week, it's very good, and better than his previous two documentaries, if about as heavy-handed. At least he stays behind the camera for most of it.

    The subject matter shouldn't polarise americans as much as the previous two, which about as politically divisive as american issues get.. (with themes of 'gun ownership' and 'war' respectively...)

    he has an interesting interview with Tony Benn which sticks in the memory, and although there is admittedly a little bit of 'greener grass on the other side of the fence' going on, you have to say, things are fairly f**ked with the american system..

    Here's a review i prepared earlier
