It was a good movie. Most people who dislike it are those who dislike Moore because he's liberal and because he so openly attacks Bush.
It'd be like if Ann Coulter made a documentary on how Bush is the most perfect president in our nation's history. Most of it would be based on facts that you could verify, however, someone somewhere could provide a theory on how or why it's wrong, yadda yadda (such is politics).
It definitely opens your eyes to certain truths about the country that you might not have realized before.
For example, local news reports generally report on nothing but murders/killings for the first half of the broadcast, which in turn makes people more afraid than they really should be. It gives this false impression that things are worse than how they actually are.
There's this certain part of the movie where he has this strange conspiracy theory that Dick Clark was (in some way) part of the reason why a 6 year old brought a gun to school and shot another child. IMO, that's just as closed minded and ridiculous as someone saying Marilyn Manson was partly at fault for Columbine.
Aside from that, it's a pretty informative (and factual) movie. Granted, someone will come along and give counter arguments against it, but that's kinda expected in politics. You just have to draw your own conclusions
