Slacker Uprising (2007)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Pretty Good

Expected more

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Michael Moore is a genius. This movie's amazing. Unfortunately USA have had problems with Bush administration these 8 years, and I really like Americans like Michael, smart. He really woke up and he is trying to wake up all the Americans. Also, I don't know how this grade could be so bad, maybe because there's a lot of republicans here. Michael knows how to put together in a movie information and comedy. The part that he's praying with republicans, and your answers ("and I think that someone has stolen their sense of humor" - about the Republicans who tried to take him to the tribunals) to them are really amazing. Hope that Michael make more movies like it.

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 film just feels like one long anti-bush rally, it is quite literally his city-to-city tour with no new revelations or any attempt to even break up the rally footage. There's tonnes of long performances by singers I'm not too familiar with and liking these singers is the only time I can see someone liking this film. After the first 15 minutes you'll see why this film is free. The timing seems convenient too, I was wondering why he held onto this film for a full term but it seems apparent that he's trying to use it to influence the 2008 election. If you're an American voter that's already anti-bush then you may enjoy this but it has 0 entertainment value.

Slacker Uprising 9-23-08At one point during Slacker Uprising a reporter asks Michael Moore if his films are propaganda. Of course they aren't lady...propaganda is defined as and I quote "a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people." Michael Moore is certainly not trying to do this in Slacker Uprising as this "documentary" is clearly aimed at his supporters. So then one has to ask the question...whats the point? How can one affect change when one clearly makes a concerted effort to alienate the opposition or anyone who might not agree with you. Its clear that with this film he is not concerned with affecting change. This film seems to be a reminder that those of us who voted against Bush were not alone. Lets talk structure for a moment as I feel this is the films weakest link. It runs by my clock at 99+ min and at times it feels more like cspan w/a soundtrack. Take that for what you will.
