Penn Jillette: If you cut this footage so that I'm more negative about Michael Moore than I really am, or that I make points I didn't really make, I'll hunt you down and fucking kill you.

Featured review
Definitely a satire...
I understand that this is purely a satire. I also understand that the movies that Moore makes need to be viewed in that same manner. Mike Wilson points that out throughout the film. I think this movie had more to do with the fact that Moore is really a satirist than a documentary film maker. I firmly believed that before seeing this movie (and feel the same after watching MMHA). MMHA is in no way a great documentary, far from it. But it's much more "real" than Moore films. I liked the fact that Wilson realizes part way through filming that he in fact was becoming Moore by doing the same things Moore did in his films. Don't be fooled, however - this movie is not a piece that champions the right or bashes the left. It simply points out that both extremes are the problem in this country.
My wish after seeing this film is to have Michael Moore actually meet Mike Wilson and do that interview, and have it televised. While I understand that it's likely that Moore will use it as an opportunity to blast Wilson and yell at the top of his lungs (as he did at the University of MN), it would go a long way to prove Wilson's point.
One sad commentary that this film reinforces is that people will believe the "truth" they want to believe, whether there is any validity to that "truth" or not. And it would be sad to see the real message of the film get overlooked by people looking to validate their own "truths" with this satire. As with anything in this world, do your own "due diligence" and find your own facts. Don't be swayed by message board warriors, reporters, or talk show hosts telling you what to think. Watch this movie and make your own decision.
