October 31, 2002
A worthy successor to Roger & Me.
October 26, 2002
A sweeping, sometimes insightful and often funny look at America's culture of violence.
December 19, 2002
All in all, Mr. Moore has given us a lot to think about in Bowling for Columbine, and he has entertained us royally in the process.
October 26, 2002
Bowling for Columbine would never be mistaken for even-handed, but it is at least a sincere attempt to find the source of this country's inability to curb gun violence and murder.
July 23, 2007
For all its gallows humor and choked laughter of disbelief, it feels rather soul-sick and bewildered.
June 21, 2007
It may be more op-ed than journalistic, but that does not distract from the fact that BFC makes for a thoroughly enjoyable, thought provoking film.
December 30, 2008
Agree with his messages or not, there's no denying the effectiveness of Moore's presentation.
April 29, 2009
A frustrating film that asks more questions than answers.
January 12, 2007
Why do Americans seem so inclined to slaughter one another? Once again, Michael Moore has once again waded into some rather murky waters to weigh in on a very thorny subject.
November 02, 2002
Fascinating, thought-provoking, often fitfully funny and sometimes devastatingly sad.
October 25, 2002
By turns hilarious, infuriating, moving, manipulative, self-serving and, most importantly, absolutely required viewing.
