Downsize This! Random Threats from an Unarmed
American |
|
Who says the left wing doesn't have a sense of humor? Maybe it doesn't, but documentarian Michael Moore sure does--Exhibit A was Roger & Me; B was the ill-fated TV Nation; and C is 1997's print skirmish Downsize This!
Moore is at his best as a prankster, whether it's trying to see if Pat Buchanan will take a campaign donation from the John Wayne Gacy Fan Club (yes) or whether he can have Bob Dornan committed to an insane asylum based on his bizarre behavior (no, but it was close).
Moore is one of our sharpest satirists, and Downsize This!
makes one wish he would write a "Sorry State of the Union" every
year. But only if it doesn't cut into his moviemaking--that's too big a
price to pay. --Michael Gerber
