Product Description
Description
The Entire Series On 4 DVDs.
From acclaimed filmmaker and author Michael Moore comes The Awful Truth, the most daring documentary show to hit the American public since Moore's own TV Nation. Now, for the first time, this Emmy nominated series is available in one complete DVD set.
In the spirit of his award winning film Bowling For Columbine, Moore skewers politicians and the public alike, placing himself squarely in the middle of today's most controversial issues and events. Join Moore as he goes on a crusade for justice with Cracker, the Corporate Crime Fighting Chicken, spreads holiday cheer to deserving tobacco executives with the "Voice Box Choir," and brings a street pimp to congress as the answer to campaign finance reform.
Shot in Moore's trademark "guerrilla video" style, each of the 24 half-hour episodes is filled with scathingly funny observations and humorous rants that boldly and ironically provide valuable commentary on today's cultural landscape.

This review is from: Michael Moore: The Awful Truth: The Entire Series (DVD)
Has anyone noticed that the negative reviews on this DVD collection mention absolutely nothing about the content of the material itself. Moore's segments on corporate crime, corporate greed and the social plight of many in this country is eye opening. Compared to many of this country's forefathers Moore is closer to being a "Real American" than the vast majority of his critics.

George Carlin = Michael Moore,
By Andrew Maxwell (St. Andrews, NB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Michael Moore: The Awful Truth: The Entire Series (DVD)
Michael Moore has been called the new Mark Twain, but I really think that the leftist comedian he really deserves a comparison too is George Carlin. The bitter, 100% truthful intellectual comedy here is nothing short of brilliant. We often use the word "brilliant" when describing our favorite films, but this really is. Scenes like "Crackers, the Corporate-Crime-Fighting Chicken," "Haulin' Communism," and "Love Night" are laugh-out-loud. Rolling on the floor. Honest to God. It's funny that the right have been caught in a lie by Michael Moore, and criticize him to attempt to bury this lie. Because they're missing out on some of the most flawless humor produced by mankind in lieu of their elitism. Sad, really. Buy this disc and see what I mean!

Oblivioulsy on he sails,

This review is from: Michael Moore: The Awful Truth: The Entire Series (DVD)
i've watched many of these episodes and found them at times funny at other times heartwrenching but most improtantly informative. a lot of people complain that michael moore is biased or that he spends all of his time conserative bashing etc, etc. but i think that they miss the fundamental points that he is making. take bowling for columbine i found it less of an anti-gun movie and more of an anti-fear movie. his message was that when you allow yourself to get caught up in the hype, you sign away your rights and your freedoms. when you get in a panic and you start to believe that the sky is falling or the russians are coming then you let your fear control you and you ignore the real problems. American healthcare and schools systems and city infrastucture and crime and poverty all these things are huge huge issues that have more of an impact on your day to day life than terrorism will ever have, but they get swept under the rug. the military gets more money than anything else yet there are little children starving in AMERICA. People dying becasue they can't afford to be healthy in AMERICA. That is Michael Moore's message, and you don't have to have a college education, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. Corperations running the counrty and ruining lives and the enviroment raking in record profits, but the little everyday working man starving on the street becasue he's just been downsized/rightsized. yes, it is indeed very scary that such a large scale terrorist attack happened so close to home but the very minute you let fear control your life you forfeit your freedom, you forfeit what your forefathers worked so hard and died to achieve, America is a country built on ideals - Peace, Equality, Freedom, and they should never be forgotten, pushed aside etc. That's what michael moore's message is.
