Agree with his messages or not, there's no denying the effectiveness of Moore's presentation.

Fascinating, thought-provoking, often fitfully funny and sometimes devastatingly sad.
October 25, 2002
By turns hilarious, infuriating, moving, manipulative, self-serving and, most importantly, absolutely required viewing.

For all its gallows humor and choked laughter of disbelief, it feels rather soul-sick and bewildered.

Must-see gun violence documentary is brutal.

All in all, Mr. Moore has given us a lot to think about in Bowling for Columbine, and he has entertained us royally in the process.

A worthy successor to Roger & Me.

A frustrating film that asks more questions than answers.

Why do Americans seem so inclined to slaughter one another? Once again, Michael Moore has once again waded into some rather murky waters to weigh in on a very thorny subject.

Bowling for Columbine would never be mistaken for even-handed, but it is at least a sincere attempt to find the source of this country's inability to curb gun violence and murder.

It may be more op-ed than journalistic, but that does not distract from the fact that BFC makes for a thoroughly enjoyable, thought provoking film.

A sweeping, sometimes insightful and often funny look at America's culture of violence.
