Why do Americans seem so inclined to slaughter one another? Once again, Michael Moore has once again waded into some rather murky waters to weigh in on a very thorny subject.

By turns hilarious, infuriating, moving, manipulative, self-serving and, most importantly, absolutely required viewing.

A sweeping, sometimes insightful and often funny look at America's culture of violence.

It may be more op-ed than journalistic, but that does not distract from the fact that BFC makes for a thoroughly enjoyable, thought provoking film.

Agree with his messages or not, there's no denying the effectiveness of Moore's presentation.

A frustrating film that asks more questions than answers.

Fascinating, thought-provoking, often fitfully funny and sometimes devastatingly sad.

For all its gallows humor and choked laughter of disbelief, it feels rather soul-sick and bewildered.

A worthy successor to Roger & Me.

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.

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.
