I was fully prepared to like this film, having heard good things about it from various sources. However, I found it somewhat tedious. I certainly agree with much of what Michael Moore was trying to get across. For example, I'm definitely opposed to the easy way guns are obtained in this country. Also, I think some of the NRA people, particularly ones like Charlton Heston, are dangerous. That said, I thought it was unfair of Moore to take advantage of Heston who, I seem to recall, has Alzheimer's disease. Also, I wasn't impressed by his actions at K-Mart headquarters. I did think the comparison of the US with Canada was interesting, and I was amazed at all the guns and hunters in the country. If it weren't so cold, I might consider moving there. Bottom line: lots of good points but lots of tedium for me. Wish I could be more sanguine about the movie, because Moore's heart is definitely in the right place.
