Watch Slacker Uprising For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Captivating movie !

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

I use to be a big fan of Michael Moore in his early documentary days. He has now turned into a Socialist nut case. So nothing has happened good in the eight years of the Bush administration? Nothing!?!?!? For a man that flies first class on his trips, America has worked out nice for him.How could anyone vote for a party that wants to "Spread the wealth around"If everyone had to wake up at 6 in the morning and put in 8 hours of work, let's go "Spread the wealth around" When I and maybe 30 million people like I go to work on a Friday that has to hold up this economy, while a majority of the rest of the country sits on their butts and does nothing and has more children. Yeah, America is pretty fair, play by the rules and you get screwed.Hey Michael, put down the taco too.

I'm a rather serious fan of Moore's work and lean heavily liberal in my politics. And even so, this film got tedious and felt very self-serving on Moore's part. There are good parts, no doubt, but did we really need to see him signing autographs and hugging women with "Hug me Michael" signs? What on earth is that besides self-aggrandizement? I can't imagine what he was thinking other than "I need some more filler here."Michael: We've seen you do better. Much better. And your timing here is very suspect--you are releasing this in the final days of the 2008 election season because you think people will, in their fervor, watch your film for some input about the election. Yet you have little-to-nothing to offer. You're looking four years in the past here while Obama is looking forward. Sure, your message "the young should vote" is currently applicable, but I think Mr. Obama has already done an amazing job of getting that out.Overall, this is somewhat interesting for us die-hards, but I can't see it being all that captivating for the masses.

i heard that michael moore had a new movie out, and that it was available on the internet. so i downloaded and watched it for free.i am a fan of his movies and love his other documentaries including his tour documentary "The Big One". "The Big One" was very well produced and included interviews with people who had lost their jobs. radio show interviews, moore talking with corporations and lots of footage of moore running around signing books.sorry to say, but this movie is just poorly edited. there is at least 20 minutes of applause footage. short clips of moore giving speeches, a few celebrity interviews. some footage of moore traveling and going to call centers. opposite of his other films, there is very little outside footage.most of the movie turned out to be: short speech - applause - short speech - applause - speech - etc.don't waste your time with this movie. watch 'the big one' or 'canadian bacon' instead. or 'roger and me' if you want to see moore in action, and not just giving speeches.

This is a documentary of the nationwide tour by Michael Moore to resurrect a failing Democratic election campaign. The intention of the tour was to get the people who normally don't (the "slackers") to get out and vote This is an entertaining and at times fascinating documentary, but whether you will enjoy it will entirely depend on whether you like Michael Moore.The documentary takes place not just during the final phase of the election, but when American emotions over the Iraq war were in flux. This documentary puts you in the middle of that emotion.Michael Moore said in the introducing this movie at the Toronto International Film Festival that he usually tries not to just preach to the converted, but with this movie he openly admits he did. So this is a documentary that has a one-dimensional viewpoint: Democrats are for free speech and care about the poor and Republications are religious fanatics. It is frightening to see in this documentary Americans, in supposedly the country that invented individual freedom, being perfectly happy to not allow or to even actively prevent any beliefs other than their own. And there is tremendous value exposing those people and Moore does it by simply letting them talk, which of course is what they would not allow him. However, the possibility that there are Democrats who may also be intolerant isn't considered here.I think this documentary also shows, unintentionally, why they ultimately failed. It ends by stating that their tour succeeded with young voters, but older voters went with Bush. Anti- Bush sentiment was largely due to the Iraq war and not other social issues. Rosanne Barr's rant at the end of the documentary might appeal to some, but it would have completely alienated older and middle-America.As with all Moore documentaries it's utterly watchable.
