Is that supposed to make me feel better? 84% favorable. Look at the words - "well-argued" "persuasive" "factual" "devastating" - and this from critics, who are supposed to be able to spot propaganda! One would suppose there was an actual argument in the movie, instead of a bunch of contradictory conspiracy theories. Look at these quotes: Moore's ability to kick off a debate -- even a vicious one -- remains priceless, as do his gifts for ridicule, for wringing laughs, shock and tears from his subjects and for shedding a spotlight on ordinary Americans." -- Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE "When Moore is willing to forget his personal animosity for a moment, his film regains its amazing power." -- Stephen Whitty, NEWARK STAR-LEDGER "Love it or hate it, Fahrenheit is unprecedented in its relentless and up-to-the- minute attack on a sitting president." -- Chris Vognar, DALLAS MORNING NEWS "Moore makes a persuasive and unrelenting case that there is another way to look at things beyond the version we've been given." -- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES "Ferociously, cathartically funny." -- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE "What's remarkable here isn't Moore's political animosity or ticklish wit. It's the well-argued, heartfelt power of his persuasion." -- Desson Thomson, WASHINGTON POST "Moore states his argument forcefully and effectively, alternating cold, factual data with emotionally wrenching -- and draining -- human episodes." -- Jeff Strickler, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE "I urge all my readers to see the film and judge it for yourselves. It is, at the very least, one of the most thought-provoking releases of the year." -- Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER "... a powerful piece of filmmaking by Michael Moore." -- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER "Moore's most accomplished, most devastating and most flawed film to date." -- Carrie Rickey, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
