I wanted to like this film. They pull off a few very good satirical pranks on the WTO, but the documentary itself is incredibly boring and insipid. We seem them buying clothes, eating lunch, talking about all kinds of unrelated crap, when the pranksters themselves are rather boring personalities. This could easily have been trimmed to 60 minutes and been a TV show. It's a good poke in the eye for globalization, but the film itself seems to be preaching to the converted, and very little goes into explaining why it is so bad. Michael Moore gives an appearance, dressed all in black now that he's an upper-East side rich boy and not an everyman from Flint anymore, and his anecdote about Mexican border towns being as impoverished now as they were before NAFTA is all the proof we get of the globalization movement being an affront against humanity. They could have made a very compelling argument, but instead we get endless scenes of them walking around talking about buying shoes.
Compared to something like Roger & Me, this is clearly a piker in the documentary genre. It's worth catching on cable, or if you're anti-globalization and want to root for your cause, it has a few good laughs.
