GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

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.

si4abetterworld The Awful Truth was a funny, radical left-wing and liberal left-wing political TV series by Michael Moore. I don't agree with Michael Moore about everything - indeed, there are things I disagree with many political people about - but I think we can all learn something from them, and in Michael Moore's case, have a laugh at the same time.The part about the funding of political parties ("The People's Pimp") is my favorite part. I want everyone living in a capitalist "democracy" to watch it. I found it very funny, and at the same time, a very profound introduction to the way capitalist "democracy" works. Even if you know lots about how it works already, this is a funny and comprehensive summary of the reality, and memorable, too.

Gram TV Nation was excellent and his movies / books lacked bias and stated a case using ill-known facts, based on this I was interested to watch 'The Awful Truth'. Unfortunately 'The Awful Truth' (TAT) is boring and uncomfortable to watch - Instead of stating a case and bringing it to the attention of the right people mr.moore creates scenarios that are in bad taste in order to create humour. The main example is where he takes a dying man to the CEO of his insurance company but only a lacky shows up and moore harrasses the poor lacky confronting him with a dying man even though its obvious that the lacky has no power to resolve the problem. Anywho, he comes across as an annoying socialist rather than a social activist and engages in publicity stunts for individual cases rather than genuinely searching for a cause to research for viewer interest.

John Langbein (medrjel) When I saw the first season of "The Awful Truth", I became totally engrossed. I didn't always agree with Michael Moore, but I enjoyed his humor and the way he tried to help the little guy. The First episode is the greatest of all when he helps a guy get coverage for a life-saving transplant. It has some low moments, but for the most part it was great.The second season, quite simply, stinks. He became so caught up in trying to shock and thrill people, he seemed to spend more time attacking the wrong people in the companies. He goes from helping the little guy to hurting the very people he's trying to help. Just because they work in a company doesn't mean they know all. A receptionist won't know why the President of her company is not serving time in jail for his crimes. Also, while I admire him looking out for the little guy, you can't condone an illegal immigration just because their boss "retaliated". The boss should be punished, but does that mean their crime should be forgiven? There are usually good reasons for restricting immigration. If everyone was allowed in , the problems they were running from would probably just follow them here. Bad causes and dumb skits fill this season. I dumped my second season DVD after watching it, disappointed I wasted so much money. There were a couple good moments, but not enough to make it worth my while.Conservative or liberal, if you get the chance to watch the First season, do it! It's great. As for the second season, unless you are an extreme bleeding heart liberal, you will probably just be disgusted like I was.
