Bowling for Columbine movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: It gets my vote for the bravest, most incendiary film of the year. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: It's a crazy, enthralling, sometimes hilarious mess of hypotheses, accusations, and head-scratching flights of folly, and it's there to be wrestled with. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Bowling for Columbine would never be mistaken for even-handed, but it is at least a sincere attempt to find the source of this country's inability to curb gun violence and murder. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: By turns hilarious, infuriating, moving, manipulative, self-serving and, most importantly, absolutely required viewing. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: [Michael Moore's] brilliant at what he does, but I don't think he's always being honest. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Watch it, argue about it, embrace it, denounce it. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: It's unnerving, stimulating, likely to provoke anger and sorrow on both political sides -- and, above all, it's extremely funny. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: I hope the movie is widely seen and debated with appropriate ferocity and thoughtfulness. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Fascinating, thought-provoking, often fitfully funny and sometimes devastatingly sad. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Anything that coaxes us into thinking about why we are the way we are, even as imperfectly as Bowling for Columbine does, is an energizing change of pace. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: [Moore's] better at fingering problems than finding solutions. But though he only scratches the surface, at least he provides a strong itch to explore more. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: At its best, which occurs often, Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine rekindles the muckraking, soul-searching spirit of the 'Are we a sick society?' journalism of the 1960s. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: We need [Moore's] noisy, cocky energy, his passion and class consciousness; we need his shticks, we need his stones. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Stuffed with content that is sometimes riveting and occasionally meandering and often arguable, the documentary is a bit of a shambles -- yet an intriguing and, in light of the timid conservatism that typifies pop Americana, a valuable shambles. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Even those who would like to dismiss the film outright should find much to mull and debate. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: All in all, Mr. Moore has given us a lot to think about in Bowling for Columbine, and he has entertained us royally in the process. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Regardless of how dubious its documentary tactics may be, Bowling for Columbine is powerful, thought-provoking, and, upon occasion, bitingly funny. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A documentary that is both hilarious and sorrowful. Read more
Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle: It explains the very fabric of American society. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: A great documentary challenges social norms and demands reaction, and on that score Moore hits us right between the eyes. Read more
Mike D'Angelo, Time Out: Problematic yet essential, it arrives in theaters looking, if anything, even more caustic and timely than it did at its Cannes premiere. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: The movie can be devastating and is often hilarious. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: A lot of this is amusing and somehow telling. But what does it all add up to? Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Even Moore's detractors, should they be inclined to see the film, will admit that he takes a refreshingly nuanced view of the issue. Read more
