Moore is not a comedian. Throughout the film you will see attempts at comedy that really don't measure up spliced in between hyperbole and misleading half-truths.
Michael Moore has always had a political agenda however in the past he has used this to shine light onto the human side of an issue and critique the establishment. While I always disliked his heavy bias in his documentaries I admired the fact that he did take the establishment on head on. It wasn't always perfect but it opened the discussion.
This on the other hand seems to be a poorly written cash grab or political propaganda or both. He misleadingly examines the issues and will present half truths to make an argument. Truly a shame.
To best illustrate this documentary take his argument about the 4 million petition to redo the vote. He posits these are millions of BRexiters that wish to undo their vote when in reality it was a poll largely manipulated by individuals outside of the United Kingdom (to the tone of 70% or more of signatures) and that those that signed were primarily far left anti-democracy totalitarians that believe in the notion of making the people vote until they give you the answer you personally desire. Of the people who voted for BRexit only 6% regret their vote which is far from the picture he paints where a horde of peasants is too stupid to vote correctly or understand the ramifications of voting to leave the European Union.
