Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Hulkinger The Yes Men have mastered the art of deception: they imitate the dress codes, roles and diction of power so perfectly that they can even speak in the name of major corporations without arousing suspicion (e.g. as in the case of falsified announcements by Dow Chemicals concerning the compensation of the Bhopal victims). It is brilliant to watch.
gavin6942 Trouble-making duo Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, posing as their industrious alter-egos, expose the people profiting from Hurricane Katrina, the faces behind the environmental disaster in Bhopal, and other shocking events.These guys take on the disaster at Bhopal, the idea of human candles and discuss the wetlands' effect on Hurricane Katrina. Although they are not always successful (in fact, they seem to persuade almost no one) they are excellent at educating through the argument to absurdity.These guys are clearly biased. While it is never explicitly stated that they are left or right, it seems pretty clear they tend to favor the liberal view. This may not sit well with some viewers and sit very well with others. I do not know -- clearly if you are pro-business or anti-business, you will look at this differently than others who have no opinion.
alpha balla No Spoilers in this Review, because its a Must-watch & worth watching film.Some people calling the film consists of pranks, hoaxes! Then what u call something like the Great WMDs in Iraq, man landing on Moon!, Stock markets!....Since a long time I have been following all the GREAT news channels, all their Breaking News etc... In the Hope that may be one day I may be able to hear a GOOD Breaking News.But, I realized that it will never happen. The Media is a Stage for Jokers called Politicians and all the Hypocrites, to engage the People in their worthless bulletins saying the they will Save Mother Nature, Planet Earth and Make the entire Universe a Great Place to live in with All Smiling faces around!! People, wake up to Reality.I watched many Documentaries on Capitalism, Environmental, Political issues & many Conspiracy theories! But, The Yes Men Fix the World (2009) is Above all of them.... Its the Truth.I was on the edge of my seat watching this film. It is very Informative, thought provoking & Entertaining.
Niklas Pivic Despite the fact that some people seem to feel that it is cruel to state that Dow Chemical accepts full responsibility for the Bhopal catastrophe, or that HUD (the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) wants to give former inhabitants of houses in New Orleans back their apartments, the affected people don't seem to think so. They're happy that people bring attention to their problem, and doing so by adding humor to it is often what is needed in a dour political climate such as these examples show, when multi-national corporations rule international business and - indeed - politics for most part.Much like Bill Hicks showed us, adding humor as spice often brings attention to the facts. The Yes Men were sharper in their previous film, but this one is still very valid as they continue to show the dangers of a free market taking over interests only to make as much money for their shareholders as is possible, not existing in the interest for the state at all.
