Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Desertman84 The Awful Truth is a TV show that was hosted,written and directed by Michael Moore.It featured documentaries making political points in a humorous and satirical way.It was an emulation of news magazine television shows like 60 Minutes and Moore's previous show,TV Nation.The format involved presenting current event issues and problems in the government,business and society to a studio audience during the first season but later move to the New York Times Square during the second and final season.After the end of each segment,there is a so- called coda portion wherein it used outlandish sketches and stunts to point out the inherent absurdity of a situation and a possible solution for it.Added to that,it also provides humiliating tactics to the guilty parties.An example is asking an insurance company to pay for a client whom they denied coverage. This is the second show that Michael Moore is involved it after the TV Nation was cancelled. In it,it showcases an improvement in his skill as a writer and director that would be helpful in his future success in making documentaries such as Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling At Columbine.Also,it is a great way to look back on the issues involving the nation more than decade ago that continues to haunt Americans today.

Dire_Straits Big-time Republican here. My friends all hate Moore. I like him.THE AWFUL TRUTH, while not a consistently funny show, does have lots of laughs. I admire Moore for his ballsy approach to people. You see plenty of it in this series.He makes his points (usually) and even though I don't agree with 90% of his tripe, I like the show.My favorite show was when he put a Fica plant in an election. That's typical of something Moore would do; his sarcasm is over-the-top and it usually works well. Sometimes, there is way too much of it - but I'll take the bad with the good.I'd like to watch another series like this by Moore. I hope he does another one day.

filmfreak-5 Being a newer Michael Moore fan I was only recently tuned in to this show. Danish television who usually shows all kinds of reality crap these days somehow steered clear of this show - kinda typical, as I said, they only show fullblown tastewaster shows anyway, so I guess it isn't very strange..Anyways, I totally enjoyed this. It's kind of a talkshow but not really. Michael Moore raving on in the same fashion as we know him from Bowling for Columbine, but about other issues - in short, taking a lot of society's fundamental problems and turned them around with a humours blink the eye....I know a lot of Americans dislike Moore, but being an European I can only say that Moore's way of looking at his fellow Americans is a lot like how we europeans see the united states. This not being said to be hypocritical (sure we have our own problems..) nor racist or however you wanna turn it, but with a president like W., who can blame us.. BUT - that's a totally other review to be given once Fahrenheist 9/11 is released here in Denmark in August ;-)8/10

BuzzardHawk Michael Moore is a roaring mouse in a world of corporate elephants. In "The Awful Truth", he highlights the abuse of corporate power towards the little people, the weak, and the marginalised, in a style that manages to be serious and funny at the same time. Moore is definitely in a class of his own, with the exception of the vast 'alternative press' that the media oligarchy would never put on air or publish.
