From crazy rabbit lady (look away, look away!) to Gatsby-esque wannabe socialites playing golf and spending the night in a new high-tech jail, this is a lot more insane than I’d expected – possibly even moreso than Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 put together – and one hell of a debut for Michael Moore. It’s certainly his most personal diatribe, and though he does come across as a little more annoying and whiny in places than his more recent work (if that’s even possible), there are still plenty of moments where you can tell he’s far from as cocksure.

Back to the rabbit lady … I feel the urge to warn anyone reading this review that there’s a really horrible scene (probably titled something like “pets or meat” on the DVD chapters) that the usually overprotective TV announcer failed to warn me about There isn’t much that I can’t watch, but a goggle-eyed crazy American lady beating a baby rabbit’s head with what looks like a rolling pin then gutting it while it still twitches is definitely one of them That’s not to say it doesn’t serve Moore’s point effectively … but still, eww
