Everyone should see it. IMO, it's Moore's best of those I've seen (Bowling, Fahrenheit, Sicko).

| 3. Did it do well at the box office? |
|
I hope so.
Michael Moore worked hard on it, and it was obvious that he was hoping the movie would be a wake-up call to the masses.
I don't see how any decent Dem or Republican could NOT love that movie.

| 8. It's a great film, one of Moore's best. |
|
Roger and Me is still my favorite--I like the raw anger of it--but this is a good one for sure.

Drug Fair type stores this time around --

And, my library had ONE copy of SICKO!!!!

we all really loved it. Loved the part, the actual film footage, of FDR--him quoting a second bill of rights for Americans. Also, I hadn't realized that when the major strikes were coming down during the depression (I believe it was film footage of a GM strike), the workers were holed up in the building and the police and private security were there against the workers--FDR sent the national guard in, and they protected the workers against the police and hired goons. They actually showed film footage of it.
When the movie comes out on DVD, I'm going to buy quite a few copies and give them as presents.

| 21. Rated R means accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. |

You could have taken them.
