An average movie

After 6 long years, Michael Moore was finally coming up with a new directing effort so, of course, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I think it was actually his weakest movie so far. I mean, it was not really bad, in fact, it was still a decent watch but I thought that this movie was mostly made for the American audience, even more than his previous movies. Indeed, I guess it must be really interesting for the people from the USA to see how things goes in other countries but, for the European viewers, it is rather weird to hear that your country is actually totally awesome. In my case, I’m French and I thought it was hilarious to see Moore taking the French school cafeterias as an example. Indeed, when I was a kid, I had to eat there every day and I thought it was awful. Of course, it was more than 20 years ago so those places might have improved in the mean time but it is pretty obvious that Moore really exaggerated how great everything goes in the rest of the world. Still, it was an interesting watch and while watching the damned thing, you wonder why the USA are still considered the most powerful country in the world where they are in fact behind everyone else in almost any area you could think of. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn’t really work for me, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Michael Moore’s work.
